Brotherly Love

	Left with images of you pouring from my eyes:
	You young, you here, day dawning, eyes wide.
	Just images, images
	All that’s left
	All that I can find
	Like water
	From a cactus
	In the desert of my mind.
	Little to big: o’ brother, you leave me like blood from my veins.
	Big to little: o’ brother, you leave me like blood from my veins.
	In a room that holds you
	Like a guilt-ridden paralyzing cell:
	No calls
	No mail
	No visitors for you when you’re in hell
	Forced hellos
	Rushed goodbye’s
	And best wishes for you in the meantime
	My face seen as often as god’s
	Can let guilt have its way of owning you
	Like a dog.
	May to march
	March to may
	The days fall with the promises I make
	Like water
	From a faucet
	Into the sink of your faith
	Little to big: o’ brother, you leave me like blood from my veins.
	Big to little: o’ brother, you leave me like blood from my veins.
	We always seem to fall with only words to hold
	We always seem to fall with only photos to hold
	We always seem to fall with only memories to hold
	We always seem to fall without family to hold.
