SIBLINGS: BETWEEN THE LEAVESPeas of the same pod, nurtured by soil's clutch,
Polarized cotyledons, vying for homely touch.

Enduring the ravages of time, standing tall,
While weary boughs...

Don't come backI don't think you're awful I just hate your Goddamn song.

But when we meet it is like meeting a favorite sister
We greet with warm hugs

All fumbling feathers and heartbreak with sternum kissing ground

No one was your...

Teeny feet in tall grass.
Brunette and strawberry blonde.
Pinwheel-limbs like pale ballerinas.
Midnight-bare without glass,
Fairy-soles in overgrown freesia.
Sisters in momentum of glee.
Brushed eyes, opened and...

A great battle/
Between two brothers, friends, foes/
Who knew each other well/
Both want to be heard/
To be loved, to be...
