"You don't know--
you just don't know--
how hard it was to leave..."

My brother emphasized with fist
pounding table-topped despair.

"You'll never know what it is like--"
He closed his eyes as if in sway.

I swept his bangs out of his eyes
and demons danced in memories--

"And you, don't know, my brother-love,
how hard it was to stay..."

I've had this discussion with my own sister.

I stayed until everyone else left.

The past is another country; we don't live there any more.

Thanks for sharing.

I spent last night watching the Saints Game, remembering how passionate my brother was about his football. Then I remembered that my brother was passionate about EVERYTHING. I sure miss talking with him...he was infuriating, funny, loud, stubborn, and grrr...RIGHT--a LOT of the time.

This one is for you Keith. Your little sister misses you.

Remembering him is honoring him. This is sad, it is harder to stay because all we have are memories.

Brings to me the thought
of my father, sending my sister
away - he knew she couldn't stay...

what a poem.

What a poet.
