Absent Sister
-william hay
The absent sister took all my mother’s love.
There was no daughter to love her.
No daughter to be with her in old age.
The hole in the heart of the family
Where the sister would have gone
Was never filled, so love leaked out
And tears flowed in.
Now all I want is a dog, a cat, a house plant
and tropical fish.
That seems overwhelming:
So little love left over after a day of giving.
Life blood flows out for sisters never satisfied
Their mother love it’s own empty hole.
One women plays abound.
I left the theatre preferring cartoon
Myself and computer becoming cyborg.
The Tin man following Alice down the rabbit hole.
Batman, superman and Wylie Coyote.
