nookncranny's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

brown paper packages

the ink appears and disappears underneath my graze. my sister has formed both of my childrens' names across the paper. school clothes. a box for each of them.

a mourning leaps out of me that i didn't see coming. my sister's handwriting has slightly changed since the funeral. it's taken on characteristics of mom's. i see it there in the s and again on the double n's.

she stubbornly denied and resisted our mother for decades. now her all along relation to her is exposing itself.
