‘’my same
my reflection
my similar
tied together
in the womb even though i
came many years after
holding hands as
we cross the road
to steal candy
from the gas station
giggling at night
and trying to stay quiet
as we tickle eachother
with our tiny feet
our shoulders
our eyelashes
our voices
once so similar
once my reflection
and once the same
you’re older now
and we have grown apart
but the ties that lie
underground connect us
and keep us family
even if we’re continents away.’’
