A letter from my sister
Says 'I am your sister'-
'That cannot change'
What do these words mean?
It's not true
Psychologically not so.
I do not expect you
To understand or make sense of
The things that I say.
How could you when you
Were not even present,
How could you
As a child understand?
Why would you now
Want to recall?
Blame must go somewhere -
I cannot understand
But, as my sister-
Why could you not hear my cry?
Why did you close your eyes to my pain?
Psychologically, not so sister dear,
Lost, oh yes, lost 'tis so.

I would like to translate this poem
My sister lived with me for 16 yrs and I cannot remember her much...such is the way with a large family...now she's 45, I know her pain, pain I missed from the time she was three...we are sisters, I heard her cry.
