Family

I am still tethered to my family. 

My spirit is inconsolable. 

I left my powers at home.

So I tremble in my sleep. 

Each day turns less urgent. 

But I still wonder if my family just…

Tumbled happily away from me. 

I fear the glass that separates us cannot be touched-

Or it will turn to brick. 

Which is how I feel when the phones disconnect. 

A week is a week is a week…
