November 7: Sisters

I have something for
Her I’ve been meaning to give

For a long time. I’ve tried to be
The one serving an olive branch on a tray

With trembling arms afraid to get bit
Sometimes even wanting to be her.

The game was on
For years both of us in the eagle’s nest

So dedicated to the lookout we couldn’t be
Ourselves, didn’t see a way to leave

The nest. There’s a mistrust in relation
To our perception on this ship.

We’ve been riding in
A loss of security

Drowned, sent over-
Board those sensitive

Planks, blindfolded to the friend
We both had on the ship.
