room at the table

the myth of family
that the larger one is
the more siblings get along.
that you can't wait to see one another
and share your lives.
but sometimes,
not always,
norman Rockwell got it wrong.
despite the same mother,
the same father,
raised under the same roof.
something went
awry along the way
and can't be fixed with
human
hands.
divine intervention
of the first order is needed
to right this ship.
