caro cugino (dear cousin),

we never did discover
the meaning of life, but
I did discover you
and that’s a fine second best.
my blood’s in your
veins;
we think the same
thoughts in two different languages
it's this rock we live
our lives on
thicker than the atlantic
that keeps us apart--it’s
called family, brings us
together
any day of the year
I can walk in and
lay my head
on your couch.
