Asleep

That night, when my mother kisses me good night, she doesn’t brush my hair back from my face. Or say soft words. Or smile. She sits on the edge of my bed, as still as a shadow. Her brown hands are quietly folded in her lap. I don’t know what’s going on with you, she whispers. You don’t get detentions. You don’t tell lies. This is not who you are. Maya, my mother says. Talk to me. But I don’t know what to say. So I close my eyes. I breathe in and out. I pretend to be asleep. And after a while, my mother stands up and very slowly walks away.
