The Grave is hard to find so many of them all identical. I sit down next to you for our chat. Sis its mothers day I was just thinking about you. How you used to bring your kids to visit their single uncle . Your old station wagon Pulled to halt in my driveway.Sis. Your five children fall out of its rusted doors. shouting and laughing. Backfiring as you turn off the noisy engine. You slipped ghostlike from the driver's seat After five hours of driving In a bedlam of children’s noise. you looked so slight and frail The very sight of you Sis,, Melted my heart again. You tell me your husbands left you. And you have nowhere to live. I enfold you in my arms And whisper you always have a place to live in my house And in my heart honey We have lost you now sis The crab sign won that battle Don't worry honey The kids are fine with me. They started calling me dad Over a year ago. They are great kids Sis. You must be so proud watching them from heaven Angel is fifteen now she looks just like you sis I look at her sometime And mouth out your name. No I never did get Married Sis. Don't pretend you never knew I was gay . I must go fix the kids dinner Honey I will be back to see you soon. I love you Sis I always will

CONVERSATION AT A GRAVESIDE
