you are my own brother

– For MC

you are my own brother.

my AIDS stricken angel.

a heartbreak.

2.

I’ve come to find

I’ve always loved you

and out love flow thick

through shared veins.

could I promise you a rose garden?

or no, a field of daisies and sunflowers.

3.

you cannot help but be beautiful

and lovely

in summer hats

still dancing

under umbrellas in the rain.
