Our sister Grace is not,
strictly speaking, our sister:
we found her one night
in a Corpus Christi bus station;
she was fully formed
as if hatched from an egg.
My brother Dick and I
knew we HAD to have her,
so beautiful and wild!
But if course
she wasn't our decision,
she followed us home,
she felt right beside us,
as if she'd been there
the whole time.
Our parents knew it too;
there was no "can we keep her
PLLEEEASE," it was just
"hello Grace, welcome home."
