reunion

this clan is hard on her,
their starlight skinny dipper.
they lure her into morning
with donuts and coffee
angling for her midnight floating rainbow
with never ending peachy lines
reeled out in small doses.
they worm their warmth into her silent gaping song
hook her floundering humor
bake her
over embered conversation
scale her down
serve her up
family style.
