Sisters
Ten years ago tonight
we were watching
our mother die.
The bedroom - with her
beloved blue shutters -
littered with used
medical equipment
her low moans.
Someone inside me
remembers the stench
of cancer
Now her three daughters
stand in a triangle with
our backs turned -
and no one says a word.
This is a poem my sisters will never see.
