Poems
Jul 2013
brother, near the end
I will step
from the long line
of fledgling
historians
to join
the performance art
that sustains
our most
crowdfunded
sister
and such a stance
will reveal
gentleness
towards women
my silence will stutterβ¦
brother,
my oldest son
pauses when speaking
like in your youth
you paused
when speaking
I know now itβs because
people flicker-
that my son resumes
when they reappear.
