To Denise! I Love You!

I Saw Only Thirteen Years My mind swims with thoughts of Neesie You would be, what, 26, these days? A full thirteen years older than when I last saw you. You died and left me, my young playmate& friend— sister. Not twins, but closer. I remember you had gained weight --a good sign— You stole my tips & awaited your period & womanhood. Now I try to imagine your kids & mine— but instead I can only see your freckles below soft blue eyes. B. Faulkner 1:20 p.m. 12-11-09 Valdese, NC   She died 13 years ago today!
