Sister, I

Sister, I
Have been bleeding back around
From the time we’d known
That in sadness was a room
Endless love
For repeating everything
For the direst parts of life
To come and live with me
Count your blessings
Move with the pack
Accept that it won’t be special
Bodies
All the things we’ll never know
All the miles I’ve walked
All the life I have seen alone
Desperate times
And their measures
Rely upon the hope of your child
For your own
Patiently to be replaced
A living thing
Every last one of the sad sun
A memory
