Kimberly Vargas Agnese

she hopes to be a birthday princess 

Xoxo…
she hopes to give hugs and kisses hugs and kisses…but amnios show she

has too…too…too much

love to give away..too many

#21 chromosomes…

she has too many xoxo’s so her love is filed under aborted reasoning on

tic tac toe charts …

where

mommies and daddies

don’t hold

extra special babies with

extra special chromosomes

and soft rain drop eyes full of

hope for hugs and

kisses hugs and kisses

on their downy

birthdays

Xoxo for all the Down Syndrome babies who had so much love they had to fly to heaven

My name is Kimberly Vargas Agnese, though I've previously written as Kae Bucher. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south to the San Joaquin Valley. As I ride barefoot around Fresno, I consider the paths I've chosen and the crossroads where our country seems to have perched itself. Thanks to my Romani ancestry, many people groups reside within me and my poetry tends to reflect this. I love welcoming the sunrise with my Native American flute. I've been rumored to juggle while teaching students how to write. And if you can't find me, I'm probably hanging out with Jesus listening to parables.
