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.
