Severed

They are far away,

and while I connect with calls,

it is not enough.

It has been weeks
since I've last visited

My family
in Paterson, and

I'm curious as to
how my grandparents

Are doing, wondering
if my niece

Is having good
school experiences.

In a few days
I will find out

All the answers.

Getting Along

Petting
and feeding her,
seeing them get along.
After months of endless conflict,
they rest.

Never Leaving

I could never understand why
you compete with her through me,

Attempting to erase memories
through unspoken actions,

Your comments light on the surface,
yet backhanded when the layers

Are peeled back. Even though your
deeds and words are hurtful,

I take comfort in knowing that
her presence is always visible

In my heart, that despite your attempts
to block her out, she will never leave.
