No Understanding
When my sister’s man hit her I had to come beat him down
But my sister must have loved the hits, because her stupid ass stayed around,
“Hopefully she will wise up and get some common sense in her head
And the final lesson is not ending up dead,
“Then fuck all of the talking-I’m coming to get ya’
Smile motherfucka, because homicide will be taking your picture,
“Clear your throat pastor the time is coming for you to preach that sermon
Because hell is where that motherfucka will be burning,
“Slow singing and flower...

The Triangle Mountain
From our hotel balcony, my sister and I have a panoramic view of Sedona's towering red rock formations. One of the red rock faces appears as a simple plane figure, a triangle. It stands out to us because it's simple. The past decades have not been simple, for either of us.
In our otherworldly setting, we talk past and present, wisely leaving the future alone. We compare ravages of aging. "Look at my 90-year-old hands" says J. I laugh at the exaggeration. But even though she is only 15 months my elder, her hands look far older. Age spots, even a ropey vein or two. I try...

Feathers of the Same Bird
Feathers of the same bird,
One plucked at the tail and the other from the wing.
Singing the same song,
Falling at different speeds.
The tail feather glides gently down,
The wing feather flies with the bird just a moment longer.
The tail feather reaches the ground,
The wing feather peaks among the clouds.
They sing in harmony,
One soft and one powerful.
One escapes the nest,
The other clings to the side of its mother.
Why did the tail feather let itself fall amongst the leaves and sticks?
Why didn’t it fly alongside the...

Roses And Relations Reborn
Roses And Relations Reborn
I woo my sister. “If the lover of Prospero’s daughter were not fictional wouldst thou not be his leading lady on the stage called life?”
“Dost thou make oracular airs? Such prophecies are not made in jest.”
I reply, “Ah, just a portent of love glimpsed from afar.”
“Given my impeccable femininity attested to by thee wouldst thou let a bitter man’s choice fill thy shoes?”
“Since our womb abode was the same surely to share the same bed would be a blasphemous deed.” ...

Bridges
I was just flipping through old pictures with my nephew to show him a little of what life was like in the 1980s.
What was so drastically different an experience had I grew up in the 60s?
It's not like anything was new! Everything we lived with, around and used was at least two or three generations old - save for the clothing, vehicles and music.
Of course I'll listen to whatever you've got from this decade, pop rock and nu wave was practically our religion?
Eight bit technology slowly started to creep and our TV tubes were nice and heavy and...

In Order To Earn Herself Some Cash
I could not believe that my sister
Abigail has allowed herself
to get naked and be cast
in a lesbian porn
flick in order to
earn herself some
cash without
asking
Dad.

Little Girl
I was raised by a little girl.
She was hurt,
She had bruises and cuts on her body.
We took beatings together,
She’s the only one who held me as I cried.
I was raised by a little girl,
She knew my father as a soldier.
She knew him better than I did,
Rather,
Who he used to be.
He stopped hurting us as we grew,
But she was already grown.
I was raised by a little girl,
She was the coolest person I knew.
She introduced me to good music,
She let me draw anime girls all over her...

No Bun
Once I ate at a Burger King
visiting with my dear sister
We don't see each other that much
Lord only knows how I've missed her
Standing in line and cracking wise
she's older than me but shorter
Neither approached the cash register
until it came time to order
Both of us explain what we want
within the house of the Whopper
Their freaky mascot lives there too
The king that creeps out this pauper
Everything went spectacular
I don't mean to be poking fun
But the wheels came off the wagon
when she asked for hers with...

For My Sister On Her Birthday
I know that we aren't as close as we could be
But somewhere inside you'll always be a part of me
The craziness of this life that we both lived through
There are times I only survived cuz of you
We had each other and sometimes I treated you bad
But the truth is I knew we were all that we had
I think back on the days when were young and naive
We always got each others back this I know and believe
Our childhood gave us both crosses to bear
Mental afflictions that will always be there

speaking cloak
o to exist in all parted
mending yarn
we close jars
looking for reflection
swirling apple peelings
fall graciously
over floor tiles
my sister`s voice
breaks in threes
from the receiver
filled with butterflies
" wait...come back "
laughter cocoons
I feel myself landing
like taking off my shoes
feeling grasses brush
against my feet
o my sister
we sit on ethereal...

Do You Know What Mom And Dad Would Say?
Robin allowed to
pose naked for an art class
inside her very own house.
That was before she
spotted her older sister
Patricia looking so shocked.
