This poem is for my sister
who never was born
except as the other half of me
the sole companion of my mind
I see myself as myself and
some other more solitary woman
whose hands are empty but hold
my own through sleepless nights
Her voice in my heart beats
recognition in a purposeless world
and bids me remember the girl
who listened for the flower’s pulse
and know that one love is enough –
my undefeated sisterhood of self
This poem is a reworking of one I wrote earlier this year. I changed it quite a bit and turned it into a short sonnet and turned into Notebook Poetry.
