Sister, I'm a Poet
Tenderly, you cradled me through
every skin-storm and hurricane
No school-bell bully
ever laid their finger on me
I watched your children weep
swept their tears into paper-cups
When we held Dad’s hand for the final time
dementia ‘s shotgun held the final bullets
bang! bang! we were all dead ,
blood on our slippers was merely truths
every skin-storm and hurricane
No school-bell bully
ever laid their finger on me
I watched your children weep
swept their tears into paper-cups
When we held Dad’s hand for the final time
dementia ‘s shotgun held the final bullets
bang! bang! we were all dead ,
blood on our slippers was merely truths

Author's Note
Our middle sister is absolute nuts, but we all love her, obviously. She is coming to stay with me and I can't fucking wait. The plots and plans we scheme. Fuck them Jane, just fuck them.

Rob, you're a fucking madman with the phrasing
"you cradled me through
every skin-storm and hurricane"
I love the phrase skin-storm. I may liberate that one day.
I hope you have an amazing time friend!
