Bonds Unbroken: Sibling LoveIn childhood days of laughter and play,
Side by side, we'd dance and sway.

Through schoolyard antics and homework woes,
We'd face each challenge, our bond still grows.

We Gemini TwinsGemini
the twins

My late sister, who loved to partyJust another day without you
Each scent of your perfume lingers
Fasten tight upon photo frames
Emotions consume my fingers
Watching the lilac sky glisten
Memories of you blowing kisses
Partying in summer dresses...

Put A Sock On ItWrapped in long white as if married to birth
In a plastic box, with wheels on the bottom,
There she lay, unaware of her worth
Unaware of the sheer amount of hats she’d wear topped...

Mary's HomecomingWe find ourselves with you in time,
Thoughts of you are roaming our minds

Sisters ForeverThey could not discuss politics; religion was out.
Never agreed on anything, my cousins Gert and Pout.

Home-CookedMy sister had us over
For a special home-cooked meal,
With sauce and pasta made from scratch -
To me, a real big deal.
When we arrived, upon a nifty
Plastic-armed display
Were fresh-made noodles, gently draped,

my sister and me
me

perched dainty at the top of the pile
of crockery, grubby, crazed and old
at the yard sale, waiting to be sold.
A teacup; white dots on baby blue;

My memory unwinds to years fled when we grew up under our parental roof.
Plodding miles through country lanes, with the...
