Subtext Equals Sadness
after Christopher McCurry
“You’re not his real sister,” yelled her siblings after their brother’s death.
He’s never taken pictures with her or held her hand in public.
When she went through it, it was ‘no big deal’. Now that he is going through the same thing it’s a nightmare, a disaster.
Her mother gushes over baby clothes the same week as her hysterectomy.
He always calls her Love, she rarely feels any.
