She hopes


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

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.

  4. Such a beautiful write. Dear Down’s folk – such joy in every one I have ever met. Yet in my profession as an ultrasound technologist I have had much inner conflict. Which is why I no longer am involved (last 10 years) with obstetrical scanning.
