Megan & Ida belong
to an exclusive club
consisting of only
the two of them —
The girls with the fish tattoos.

Megan sports a golden koi
swimming down her arm;
a good luck charm.

Ida has an orca whale
where she can watch it
until it washes away.

Auntie Meegie is her soulmate,
you can see it in her eyes —

a bit stunned
by the meaning of sisterhood
cemented together
forever

by fish tattoos.
