When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months
She arrived one February morning, pale and shell shocked
From past lives I could not imagine. She was 3 years older than me but in no time we became friends
We'd listen to her mix tapes; Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil
She introduced me to her favorite books, gave me clothes and my first cigarette
