Hel-loooo….


Very nice meeting you Mrs. Feeney,

you know you’re Shirley’s mom,

to me 

that kind of makes you

a sacred cow,

I’ve already

totaled two trucks

squashed Booboo kitty,

and I ain’t even 

got out 

the living room

yet

lads and lasses

children in the sea

have come to pick your 

baloney 

stones.

A Found Poem for Stephanie who wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Squiggy

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.
