Heard
She first heard about him when she was in College.
Her and her friends were chilling in her dorm room,
munching popcorn and talking about their holiday break.
Her friends Charlotte and Diane rushed into her room and excitedly announced that they had met her brother, Baron.
Confused, she said that she didn’t have a brother named Baron.
And, so began the conversation about the brother she never knew.
Baron lived in the same small country town as Charlotte and Diane.
They had met him at a Dance during the holidays.
When they told him the College they attended, he asked if they knew his sister.
Baron’s father was her Mother’s first husband, and Baron their first child.
Although Baron knew about his little sister and her family.
She and her family did not know about Baron, nor his father.
Over the years she had wanted to talk to her Mother about Baron, but she never did.
Baron remains the brother she never knew.
