Private Notes

Before my sisterā€™s high school graduation, we stood

alongside my motherā€™s Pinto. My brother chose to buckle in,

driving straight and narrow. My sister hopped right

then left to end up staring at cancerā€™s cemetery.

I walked through snow, past the shrieking kids

sledding, to stand next to the tulip tree, survivor

of many winters.
