The First Day Back

Rupa Auntie drops me off on Monday morning

and we are late.

My school is far from her house,

and she has to wait until her kids get on their buses

before we can leave.

I hurry in the cold

and find Rachel holding the door for me

as I step into the warmth of the entrance.

Were you out of town? I tried to call you, but no one answered.

Everything comes out in a rush

Amma being sick,

how it might be leukemia,

staying at Sunny’s house,

and the tears that I haven’t cried all weekend

finally fall.
