your brother died when you were ten years old
you slept in his room
where you never dared to go
you hoped to see him
and his private world
to spit on him.
you grew into his records and you grew into his clothes
but never grew closer
to the way his cruelties would unfold
the nosebleeds
the living room
on your back
how many years have you
spent shaking the tree of your history?
and when have those branches ever
yielded their fruit
onto you?
so sweet.
