the yeah-yeah sisterhood

start. delete.
this stopshort way of talking
to my brother.

advise not overtly
coolly leading
not bully
not this once hen-pecking sister

who had seen her dad young
and only wanted better beginnings

prodding toward hope
this hopeful prodigal
may the son rise.

when that dog sleeps

give this happy friend
a bed of sun-warm grass to dream on

she is my barking song
and her face the light of my house

the piano of my youth...

...not worth saving from my grandparents' house.
