Here is the why

Certain you’d know
The placement and count of each fleck of amber against the jade green
Iris

Knowing for certain
The from-deep red song you’d hear in your blue bluesy 
Heart

This is most difficult

What then
If you’d suffered as I
And I’d shown no passion
No care 
To pull you to here from there
Where it’s safe 

What then
Could I claim Humanness
Or say I’m your Sister 
Come here now
To this side
And thrive

First fearfully made, consecrated one

Then daughter, blessed by a blood second to none

An auntie, to dear flesh -my heart did they steal

Now “Hi Mom” to Tiger, a cub with my zeal

He blessed me, here I stand, in nothing but grace

Surrounded in mercy’s why I seek His face

For God’s sake, all you owe her life
To never question her true stripes 

The thrill of revving two-wheeled spree
A swing, the stars, the moon times three

Your constant annoyed adoration
Ice cream kisses, consolation
