we speak every six months or so
my sister who moved away
from me or me from her
over time
husband’s
interests pulling us
from hope to love
close to loosely tied
she is excited about
a coloring book of fashion
the latest rage
suggested passing it to my granddaughter
who draws dresses
passions after looks and fabric and fit
thought she
might enjoy it
so we hang on the phone
for an hour or more
catching up on
mostly our daughters
both bright beautiful
young unmarried
on the verge
of becoming us
