Family

                                                                  

 

Home again, tonight, in my life apart from you,

I reflect on our too-brief visits, in Manhattan,

With your sister Denise,

Cousin Rene, high-school friend Vicky,

Our time, in Wellsville,

With Marshall, Jen, Connor, Jaida, and Jaxson,

Realize that this is what my existence has been missing —

Kinship's closeness, togetherness, sharing, intimacy —

And recall how, before we parted,

You took my hands, kissed my lips,

And whispered, "Now you have a larger family."
