IN THE GRACE OF TIME

A younger Brother's
proud endurance
to age and class
redeems
the once resentful
subconscious sibling,
that sad and angry
child of Depression
who, like and unlike
their part-time Father,
knew no self-reproach
til slow insight changed
his ancient rote impulse
from domination to love,
the true survivor.
