and his brother didn't talk
to each other
for forty years,
then they died.
my sisters
and brothers have
the same
disease.
holding grudges seems
to run in the family.
my father,
my son,
my cousins, each snubbing
one another
for no good reason,
to some degree.
most can't even remember
or explain
why they
disappear and ghost one
another.
you shake your head
and wonder,
why some stay and some
leave.
such is family, an enduring
mystery.
