the talking stick
is passed
and as it draws closer
my palms sweat
my chest squeezes
shut
3 people before
I stop listening completely
composing a monologue
obscuring the truth
just enough
what if they find out?
what if he finds out?

strolls into the middle of the room
looking for her father
she waits
and there is a weighty-ness to her waiting
not the delicate anticipation of a new love
but the heaviness of knowing and not knowing
why did his light blow out so young?

can you see that I’m alive?

see me!
