Relative relativity By Katie Sachs

Before my father died
He told me that Borsht is thicker than blood.
Meaning -
A thick soup of friends
Can override
A genetically fraught family.

After his death,
His forever friends left
And My Uncles were AWOL
(For a time)
And I was then kept alone
In a house
With my Mother and cat,
Pearl.

But as I have traveled
And grown
life has shown
Me
This: 
Proximity is paramount.
And relativity is relative.

We can always assemble
An army of spoons
So that we never loose access
To the thicker red liquids.
