we are wondering where the hours flew, br though many have passed and changed your face br and your laugh, br I am still in the same house, br how you move with such grace and efficiency br br my sister, br in the sense that you still call br me without reason, br I do sit at desks and cars and br pray for all of you br and though you’ve believed me godless br have faith in this: I do love you br br when the shields falter, recoil and retract br into the doorways I wandered when I could br not speak my own name, br I promise br I will finally speak your's aloudbr br E.D.
