Siblings

Siblings.

 

Gene-close by blood code

sibling attraction gells

thicker when thoughtfully coping 

with natural difference 

both in years and in gender.

 

Concord stays bettered

when respect keeps

tempers from fraying as kith      

plays in banter with each

active member of contending kin. 

 

Made enriched indeed

are parents whose offspring

reflect care\'s abundance

in childhood scuffles that resist 

doing harm one to another.
