For 4/23, to my sister Sarah

This is for Friday since I was at my sister's that night and didn't get a chance to do this. For Sarah, I love and appreciate you dearly in case I don't tell you enough :).

The Sisters

by Rainer Maria Rilke

Look how the same possibilities

unfold in their opposite demeanors,

as though one saw different ages

passing through two identical rooms.

Each thinks that she props up the other,

while resting wearily on her support;

and they can't make use of one another,

for they cause blood to rest on blood,

when as in the former times they softly touch

and try, along the tree-lined walks,

to feel themselves conducted and to lead;

ah, the ways they go are not the same.
