Sisters, 1980Gabrielle has dreamy questions. She leans into me and Whispers them. At the ocean, one by one Into my bewildered ear. Does God have beliefs? Do pigeons like us? Do angels age? Will you always love me? I hold her to keep from Falling into the darkest Places, the empty spaces Of a life without her Questions. I answer: No, yes, No And the last, the one She's waited for, I Go under water to find, Spelling out three letters in Tiny bubbles that just break the surface And disappear. |
