Les Soeurs Triste
French for "The Sad Sisters"
I am just the lonely poet
she is the actress/playwright
both of us born to write
only the way we know it
One using a finer rhyme
to capture the essence of truth
her sister a starlet since youth
always pursuing a light of lime
The older cuts herself deep
the source of all her bled ink
the youngest prefers to just sink
flowered Ophelia with tears to...

I don't want your shoes
They walked into my life
and they took me aback:
a beautiful pair
of low Converse in black.
But these ones were special—
I could see from afar
that they'd been embellished
with many a star.
As we sat down to talk
of her travels from Fleet,
I thought about how
they would look on my feet.
"Ha ha, they won't fit you,"
she cried in delight.
I'd have to squeeze in,
but I think that they might!
I thought I could try them
while my sister assisted,
but as she...

Missing You, Big Sis
The only step-sib that understood me
to recognize that my mom just died
and was consequently still grieving
remembering how you defended me
whether from step-mom injustice
or the only cul-de-sac bully
who soon after became my best friend
recalling the Summer you got me a job
doing yard work for our crooked, trucker uncle
each morning we’d navigate Highway 17
destination Scott’s Valley
you at the helm of your MG Midget
top down, blonde hair shimmering,
blowing wildly in the wind
As teens we worked the same...
to recognize that my mom just died
and was consequently still grieving
remembering how you defended me
whether from step-mom injustice
or the only cul-de-sac bully
who soon after became my best friend
recalling the Summer you got me a job
doing yard work for our crooked, trucker uncle
each morning we’d navigate Highway 17
destination Scott’s Valley
you at the helm of your MG Midget
top down, blonde hair shimmering,
blowing wildly in the wind
As teens we worked the same...
