She left her home
Boarded the final bus
She couldn’t look back
Her eyes … wet.
She settled in a small town
Took a job in a diner
She worked two shifts
Her life … sweaty.
She signed up for school
She needed better prospects
She struggled to juggle
Her nights … teary.
She graduated
She married
She settled down some.
She moved
She had kids
She wanted for nothing.
She volunteered at church
She bookclubbed with the ladies
She longed for her old country
Her heart … clammy.
He started working later
They left for college
She felt her home had left her
Her pillow … damp.
