Things I Can't Get Over

For my brother, Rob

One for you:


Robby, adopted though you may be,
forever my brother in this grand monoply
of Love. 
You inspire me and raised the creative force in our family tree

You, the firstborn.  Taking the brunt of harsh needles of rejection into your thick skin.
The leader within awaiting its gin

When might your spirit yield a tonic glow beyond Boston (you know)
The nest that will forever be home. 
The spirits of the wise reside there.

You are a soldier at least.  Born not to flee,
pioneering your path
with the least of these.

Life of the hard Knox forced you into Grandma's capable arms.
Where you will forever be honored,
as the unique child of God you are.

 (Robert Knox and Delissa Jo at the homestead-Woodyfest 2010, brother and sister...in Christ)

And one for me

Come on, Lovers!  Arise and go forth!!
