SUNSHINE
For Aunt Mary, in Memoriam
You were always the thoughtful
one among a clache
of siblings as rambunctious
as they were unattached,
but your smile would set
a room alight and your laughter
was enlipped with love
for all who came within
your compass, and I remember
you riding your bike a mile
and a half to Grandpa’s house
just to say hello and get
a shy glance at Tom,
who fell under your igniting
spell: you two were groomed
to be together, furled
in mutual affection, and too
soon a hundred years
passed, and when you left,
a little bit of sunshine
went out of the world.
