The Space Between Years
Birth order continues to matter,
as the time stacks up people change
without changing: five & a half years
is always five & a half years,
but the distance between family
expands & contracts by the minute
like bits of energy sharing a nebulous space always about to crash in or blow out.
There is no filling these voids,
neither love nor piety can overtake the force of familial gravity.
