AWorkInProgress

hey cal, I  say

what, she replies

do you know what, cal

what

I’m moving, cal

 

what

says cal

I’m moving, cal

I say.

 

cal says what again

but i think she knows what I said

cal runs away

 

and the next day she acts like it’s not true

like I lied to her

 

and when we have a playdate

she sits on the edge of my loft

and cries.

 

I know

she knows

 

my mom told me, cal says

is it true?

 

yes, I say.

I’m sorry, cal.

 

all my stress is rising now. my heart is pumping in my ears,

says cal.

 

I didn’t have an answer.

my stress is swirling around like glitter in a jar,

says cal.

 

well, then, I say.

stop shaking the jar.
