She sits with her back to me
On the edge of our memories
She knows I am close
It’s the bond of our blended souls
Her hair sweeps over her shoulder
She is the sunshine for our summer
All the pasts of darkness
Worked through gravestones to
dig and bury us
Yet even in between rock and mortar
Light will always break asunder
And now I pause and watch her
My fairy winged angel
With a raw fleshed halo
For generations
We have clung together
She saved my life
Volunteering for the front lines
Demanding to take the fall for us
My sweet sweet breath of existence
It is in you I find
My eternal light.
Beautiful. ❤

I’ve been missing your words beautiful sis. I read so many of your incredible poems, but thought I’d comment here. This one really touched me, as did all of them quite honestly. As an aside, the little girl up above missing her front teeth, could so be me. I looked very much like that as a child. https://parispoems.wordpress.com/2014/08/15/petite-paris/
see me at about 4 maybe 5.
Love to you sis
Paris
