Sister

She is holding my hand

But I can’t remember it

Whether it was something automatic

Like smiling for the camera.

Or whether our mother has to say

Take her hand, come on

Mostly we remember

Who hit who first?

Who was pushed off the sled

Who tattled to father

All that stale history still

Squashed between us 30 years later

It becomes easier every year

To think it is too late,

We are too different now

The letter at Christmas as such

As there will ever be

But still I return the old albums,

Touch the glassy photographs

With their secret sealed in

My finger tips find the two small faces

I want to forgive, find

The sister holding my hand. (Leona Gom)
