Two recent trips to Denmark gave lots of opportunities to spend time with friends and family. It made me feel really grateful for the wonderful people I have in my life, and not least amongst them, my darling sisters.

Sisters

It is good to have a sister, to be reflected, to live less alone.

But to have two – to be the three of us…

So many multiples of things to do and things to say,

Of conversations, situations, opinions, and views.

To meet. Sometimes one, sometimes the other,

Have joint calls and talk about our kids, about our mother,

And on delicious occasions, in our adult lives

To meet and talk and tease 

To travel, to eat, be at our ease,

To lean,

Comfortably.

Without words, to understand what we mean.
