Status Updates From SISTER

"simply
bury it, but bury it
alive."

'One Hundred and Five Times' is chilling.

"Show me what patterns
you see on the pressed insides
of your eyes, and I'll return with colors of where
I've been all these years"

"If you were in the driveway
I didn't see you,
a seven-year-old, knock-kneed kids
kicking gravel
with the side of your bare
foot.

loud muffler ready to drive North
and fast,
no apologies,
no saying
goodbye."

"The man flipped
his abacus, counted
every bead of pain
to add up
to excuse."

"We were
afraid, and like a pack of hungry
dogs, we marked
each other - safety pins and blood,
scratched things like 'best friends
forever' then vomited
bile into the mud."
