your relationship
with family is strange
flowing
long
petals
lined up on a mailbox
in acrylics
and
your brother
gets painted over
I check the mailbox
for the excitement
of receiving mail
not caring if it's for me
or not

Love this! Well written
Very symbolic this poem paints a clear image of looking for different things in an interpretation that varies from person to person and leads to misunderstanding the actions of another. Nicely done
Nicely worded. Your poem revolves around the complexities of familial relationships and the bittersweet nature of communication and connection. The mailbox serves as a metaphor for the anticipation and disappointment often found in familial interactions.
