The author’s brother

Reading old email again… I found something I’d forgotten from last time I sent a new publication out to my family (since they’re the only people in American who will read it). Evidently my author bio was unsatisfactory.

How come you don’t mention your only brother in the author’s
information? husband... kids... no brother...

How troubled I am,
one that shares my blood
forgets that bond
in her accolades...

Forgive her I will
as the bond runs deeper than blood
or even the ocean’s depths
she is my sister

Hey that’s pretty good huh? I’m a poet and didn’t know it...
