This road goes into the next
verse - Brother, do you know
the way?
Neighbors trade novels
through windows
No-frills. The front yard is the
hidden treasure
Sit on the curb. Leave with the
sun.
This road goes into the next page -
The paper is a soft chord, play
each turn into a sandstorm
Arouse the carbon in the
words
Splash whiskey on the rhymes
This road goes into the next the
chapter - Brother,
become the gold strolling waves
become the story told in the
flower bed.

My brother is moving to Seattle this week. He is on his journey North.
I called him yesterday. He did not pick up.
He texted me today. It read, "I appreciate the call. I wasn't ready to talk."
What would we be able to distill into words anyway?
It gives me comfort to remind myself that for him this isn't the end of a journey for him but a continuation of one. It is obvious I guess.
As brotherly distillations go, this is fine. *
@Matthew thank you
