I had to read this repeatedly. At first I thought the siblings were marrying one another. Tired of watching siblings marry while the narrator remains unmarried? Having to be bothered by nattering aunties? I liked the ending.

Your words invoked nostalgia. Summer days growing up in the south, that rain I know all too well. All that was missing in your description were the trees. 🙂

I enjoyed this poem because it elicited a physical reaction from me. I was grossed out. It made me uncomfortable. Terrific job!

I enjoyed your stylized formatting on this. Like an hourglass, which was very appropriate as you wrote about the beginning to the end. Nice work.

Lmao! You caught me with the intro, and I thought it was going in one direction. Then, you flipped the script! Made me laugh. Nice.

I liked this one a lot. These lines, “I dig past bones and grease and clutter of things left behind, to save what everyone sees as junk. It’s precious.” I felt it singing in my soul. And, “But we’ll watch the clock hands tick and tick and tick away.” This suggested to me that being “okay” and “healthy” may not withstand the test of time. Nicely done.

Your words seemed cruel as you made it clear you were definitively unsympathetic toward the subject white woman. I found it interesting.
