More: [Poem]: you

‘you’

I’m glad the world
never told me
about the eccentricities
of you

and how your humor
lifts my spirits
when they are down
and blue.

Sometimes, you are
lurid like a Les Paul
in the hands of
‘Pride and Joy’s’ master;

others,
sad like a Stradivarius violin
who struggles
and fears going faster.

I’m glad the world
never told me—
not even in the faintest whisper

for I learned it all my own,
what it means to say,

“You’re my sister.”
