for little sister

 

a beetle   for instance   a wasp

on the window

i begin to form words

 

hammering next door

how to convey it

geese   glass   grass   it doesn't matter

 

how to find the words

this is not living in the moment

i don't care about that

 

i want to find the words for you

you so far away

even when you are here   so far away

Sisters are like that. You miss them when they are gone.

The love, the caring, and the desire to share it, is immense in this poem. I feel the deep longing to reach out and to pull in close, but deeper still the respect for choices made. The bond between siblings can be very strong yet strained at times as circumstances and life pull in different directions.
Such a tender and precious account of unconditional and never ending love.

Seems like you love your sister and that's as lovely as this piece of poetry.
