The Cherokee in Me

I spoke to my cousin
Irish blood of my blood
Mutual ties to
Dublin and Charles and
35
we have.
So different,
Yet we met here,
At the same place
Wondering.
We talked.
Promises made
To never forget.
Irish blood of my blood
We share in common
Only liquor
And loss
And cigarettes.

You know not
The Cherokee in me,
That rises from the ashes
And believes in love
Still.
