SISTER IN LAW
the bells in her voice & the way she knits her r's into jersey'd sounds made me trust her. for a second. such a silly second. and she used it against me with a smile on her face & yes, still, that bells ringing, clinging, tingling in my ears…

***

MOTHER IN LAW
she bites me with my own name like i'm the sour apple in the bag…

***

HUSBAND
he says it's because i'm not blood
he says it's because i'm weak
& he does it with a hug…

***

OTHER SISTER IN LAW (the one i like…)
she says it's because i'm strong
it's because i'm too nice
it's because he's proud of me

***

ME
how did i get here?

but more importantly, why do i? put myself here everyday

***

MORE ME
i don't know if the problem is that i trust too easily
that i expect too much from others
or that i try too damn hard

or maybe it's all of the above

SmileGRL, you have true grit my friend. You have an intuitive thread of self knowledge which will show you the way out of the labyrinth. I see in here a person with so much passion and goodness. I'm so happy to call you friend.

oh, baby, baby
i'd say that the in-laws are for poetry
and the more the better

I see you wearing a cloak of invisibility here that I am envious of....
You are there, observing.
And it's mighty swell.
Love this
H

It made me smile! I only have a sister-in-law, she is a non-active psicologist, nearly mute and from calabrese parents! She has been my sister in law since ten years... now is part of the landscape!
