My sister--
Sarcastically smirking
Then lovingly smiling
Rubbing my nose
And making monkey faces
Then shouting
Threatening
Calling me names
I can't put here.

My sister--
her hair swinging in the wind
Like strips of silk
Black silk, wild
Soaked in one zig-zag ray
Of bouncy, joyful sunlight

My sister--
commanding us
She's the captain
Who stands
At the prow of her ship
Proudly
No reason to be scared.

My sister--
Daredevil
Could dangle from the clouds
And call the fall nothing
Could bang her head on the door
Laugh the bump away.

My sister--
Worried
About other people
Their thoughts
Of her.
Whether she's always the weird kid--
Homeschooled, bookish.

My sister--
Like a poem
That no one
Can solve.

My sister--
Like a tree
No one
Can cut down.

My sister--
Like a ship
Ironclad
With only a tiny secret entrance.
