Prose

February, 2014

I lean across the table, kneeling on my chair so I can feel tall like him. Dad’s eyes crinkle at the dinosaurs gathered around dark, leafy trees and crystal blue waters. All stubby fingers and bitten nails, I pick out a piece from the pile. When it doesn’t fit, I try to force it out of sheer stubbornness. Dad’s laugh reminds me of Santa Claus at the mall’s Christmas float.

Poetry

Intelligence,
I learned from Kasha,
is knowing how to love
and how to ask for love.
