song of devotion

this ain't hard to like at all
flashback to portland parquet floors
san antonio single lady nights
and the start of my sister-friendships
summer evenings on that grand porch
my weird fill-in carnival birthday party
through those painfully silent months
whispered secrets at opal divines
and finally to a beautiful night at bess

years later now
chelsea's red lipstick and rock and roll kimono
and our rekindled love for bouldin creek
lara's glowing happiness
and the grey in cl's temples
what a beautiful life we have created
the sisters filling our house  filling my heart
