Enduring Love
by Carole Mertz

I did a watercolor with my sister,
drew my signature in the lower right
with the date I found interesting: 9/9/9
Looking at the date, I wonder and long

for the past’s experience of painting with her,
side-by-side. Now my sister’s gone.
Yet my heart still cries in forceful tongue,
“nein, nein, nein!”

Our time together has become
a memoir of love songs without music
