A Sister I Know
copyright 2019 Michael Walker
She talks to herself
And to bill collectors
Service mammals
Who die in her arms,
Every day she lets her
YES be NO
And her NO
Be YES.
Everyday
And on Sundays
She goes to church
Prays to the god
Who died in her arms
Prays
I am haunted by your arms
Haunted by your
Strength
And opulence
Come back and
Save me
Please
She talks about
Killing herself
Yes be Yes
And no
Be no finally
She talks to herself
About killing herself
But she won’t today
Her favorite movie
Is on TV
Three hours
Stroking
The cat
Like a furry
Crystal
Ball…
