For my Sister

by hayley*virgo - Aquarius

My sister and I were seperated at birth
in a small town hospital of North Dakota.
The nurse took her down to New Orleans
and the doctor shipped me off to Los Angeles
They told our mother her twins had died
but we are very much alive
taking breaths as one,
falling asleep at the same time,
(Eastern vs. Mountain, of course)
and sharing similar moments and movements
like yesterday, when I was in my theatre 
and she in her studio
we both had a sudden urge for a neck massage
And today, when she rests her chin
on the palm of her hand
I will be doing it too.
Isn't it funny?
After all this time
we move
we think
we love
we live
as one

Reason for writing:

    NOt for Lindsay, but for Meg! (love you both though!)
