my six aunts and
my six aunts and
uncle gather around
grandma’s hospital
bed, allowing
the performance of
procedure to overtake the
art of living.

are collectively
tied in the pursuit
of individual
blamelessness.
grandma looks
on, one against
six, a tube down
her throat, mindful
of cumulative losses.
as in every

flexes its
muscles, taunting us

devotion, and rivalry
measure us for both

in the unseen space
in the unseen space
of two weeks – small victories,
joyous letting goes

all of it begins
all of it begins
to fade even as we are
capturing it – pen
to paper, experience
to memory – don’t hold on

every time we come
every time we come
back together, after spending
many moons apart,
there is a collective sigh,
a letting go of defenses
