246

You touched her chin and told her
she did nothing wrong. She said
"I wish I was your sister,
so you'd love me by default" that she could

be your happy uncle who always brought
a new baseball cap,
or she could be the next door neighbor
who's early morning wave hello
became as familiar as your front stoop,
the handle on the door.
