More: [Poem]: we could have

'we could have'

we could have clung
to the memories
of days long gone
spent in summer grass
singing ‘Rodeo’
and sounding
like old coon hounds
instead of Garth Brooks

but you went your way
my rebel sister, you
always barefoot and blond
with a Twain charm
and a boundless thirst
for adventure

i should have known
memories weren’t enough
but i was never one
for predicting, was i?

it’s hard to think about ‘could’
when the only word i hear
is the silent, ‘can’t’


so i’ll just say no more
