What Sisters Are For

Running through the house
Play with me, Jan
Yvonne, What does rape mean?
Help me make a cake.
Marlene, play me a song.
You're supposed to pay attention,
Entertain me and 
teach me things I don't understand.
Sisters are for kissing me better.

As grown women you still support me.
My bumps and my bruises
Not your fault.

You wrap me in a warm blanket
and caress me
As I tremble.
