There is a certain nerve
that hurts
when it is about
my brother.
Always any interaction
with him plucks
that certain nerve
pain
and it hurts deep.
This always happens
predictably.
Just heard
he is not well
and people are worried
about him.
Again! Yet again!
The same old nerve
that is commented
to him hurts
in the same old
familiar way.
Some feelings never change
Predictable
Predictable.
