lie for a while with your ear against the earth
and you’ll hear your sister sleep talking,
say, “your hair is long, but not long enough
to reach home to me.
blood - the middle east.
it’s hard to be away from you. i haven’t admitted how hard it’s been. this year’s been something else, but i’m so, so glad i’ll get to see you soon. i plan on enjoying every second of our time together.
