My sister always sat as far away from the outside as possible
always the middle
how far can you go into a forest
before you are going out again
She never used the endtables
all that preservation
and the vodka
made her hand unsteady
and she was stuck there
her legs wobbling
unable to carry her mind
and what should I have done
I drank with her sometimes
always going to bed first
hearing her climb the stares
hours later
