 Going to India


My mom   says   it’s time

To go   to India

I don’t want    too

Saying   do I need to?

No reply,  then says, "pack your bags"

It’s time   to leave 

My friends in California

I sigh  stuff my clothes

into an already stuffed suitcase

like thoughts stuffed into   my already full mind

Day’s pass    school's over

time to leave     time to go

Too late to turn back

I start to leave
