Sister

I keep saying it out loud, your name

meaning April, meaning Spring. How to say

a thing in words, how not to mistake, or

be mistaken? How to say I have looked

for you always, how I want you to know,

if not knowingly, then in dream after

dream. How we were seeds sown from the same

dandelion, blown apart in the breeze.
