Bloodlines

a line   a familiar voice   so much to remember
so much unknown   bloodlines   relatives and I
share   familiar words sound good   connections
talk of weather is the easiest   it’s colder there
aunt’s son takes care of her   he passes her the phone
she says life has always been harder since she left the farm
we’ve already lived our lives   each of us lives another

Fascinating shape. The words themselves hold such truths. Well done.
