Mother and the Aunts

Five sisters,
Sattelited by children
And significant others
Sit around the sunny fire.
Their conversation
Necessarily excludes
The moons that surround them.
For they speak of their big bang.
The cosmic force that binds them.
The pain and wonder of their childhood,
The formation of their formidability.
Their own unique gravity of levity
That binds others into orbit around them.
