For My Sister Across the Pond
You don’t know this
But I sat at the top of the stairs
Listening to you and your brother
Chatter on about school
And play
Making noises
Just to make each other giggle
Two boys in a room
Not a spectacular sight
But listen
Listen and you’ll see
Simplistic moments like these
Are what we live for
To make our brothers laugh
To have slumber parties
Even on a weeknight
Because, well, he is your brother
And as I sit down the stairs
I miss my sister
And the way she makes me laugh
And how I am never embarrassed
Never worried about her reaction
Because this nightly talking thing
These falling asleep ambiguous babbles
Is love.
