I sit on the couch of my sister,
My sister in California.
My sister a mother,
My sister at home,
My sister asleep on her bed.

I type on my sister's computer.
A computer well used and cared for.
A computer for family,
A computer for shows,
A computer for work and for play.

I ponder the ways of my sister.
The ways of creation and practice.
The way that she mothers,
The way she corrects,
The way that she teaches and learns.

I wait for the baby of sister.
The baby all sleepy and tired.
The baby to wake,
The baby to cry,
The baby to play with his mommy.

I love to spend time with my sister.
Time out and time in and with kids.
To introduce cousins,
To go for a walk,
To parent and sister and be.
