A Poem For My Brother

The Time of the Young and the Blood-Tied
the two of us
he the strong courageous warrior
i his weak but loyal tag-along
close kin

we made our business
battling figments of young minds
with broken-ended golf clubs
scarring trees

we were quick cunning
stealthy like owls in the night
hunting for our childhood prey
defending home

we were the invincibles
nothing could deter our youth
bodies spry saplings in sunlight


except time
