We sit down At the Bar You remark on My posture We order Your favorite Jack and Coke We sling Them back Double Shots Burning my belly Your eyes fill With disbelief I can see The photographs flash In front of You School Pictures Prom Photos Graduation Shots All Stacked up Underneath this very Bar- Stool My eyes roll Away from sentimentality Laughing it Off I order Two more I can hear you Tell me to Slow Down As if Recorded into A Broken Record Even now I’m still Your Baby Sister As My Vision Doubles Your Smile Remains As One Though your voice Seems to grow Faint My throat begins To burn Feeling myself Crying out Over a space Much more vast Than the distance Between Our two Barstools Before I misplace Myself Completely You Catch me Your other Half Your little twin I will Not be Doubled Over We are Celebrating This Birthday As I blink To see you Through My blear I see you Preparing To go Mirroring my moves To put me at ease But your Cheeks Have lost Dimension Your color No longer Changes in The light You pull your Hands away Not wanting to Make me Cold Insisting I’m Warm My clammy Palms Push Forward Just in Time To Catch That Paper Wafting Down I ****** it Up Staring at Your smile That always Did Photograph Well Flipping it Over I tried to Remember When you had Signed This photo You could never Have known About I refuse The answer Wary of the lies You will believe When you Split drinks With A Memory.
