Kimberly Burnham Poems

What if
reading a poem could improve
symptoms in Parkinson's disease
poem stories in action
...

A state of supreme pleasurable
satiety where there is a feeling
of enough and nothing more
called by different names
...

Autoimmune
cells fighting their neighbors
a multitude of languages
purposes needs misfiring
...

Known well
easier to learn a foreign language
at an early age
today teach a child
...

I said, 'My back hurts'
she said, 'let me tell you a story'
you walked in here wanting
something to change
...

Clock ticking
big hand approaches 12
small one already counting ten
museum doors roll
...

smooth textured
elemental H two O
a pairing of
immeasurable
...

Shi - the breath of life
they breathed life into writing and poetry
thousands of years ago
...

There is a saying
in Acholi spoken in Uganda
"Ka lyec ariyo tye ka
lweny lum ayee deno can"
...
