Family Fight
no one recalls what the fight was about
or why it happened
it divided the family in three places
funerals and weddings are no longer happy events
those who will not be with others
picking and choosing to come based on who else is showing up
this has gone on for twenty-nine years
their parents are older
their dream is to have their children together again in one room
It happens after their death
but the grudge remains
and they refuse to speak to each other
none of them remembering what it was
just knowing that it is.
