Sister


                                             Sister
    

            I never really understood these feelings and this pain       
            They generated long ago, and we are what remain
             No memory sings for us hypnotic lullabyes
             Our baby's breath in gasping tears provides a true reprise 
             Days turned into months frozen by the distance
             Cruel facilitator of familial resistance
             Which is now more tragic, this current state of mind
              Or is the deepest cut of all the loss of ties that bind?
