She had a secret or
something I wasn’t supposed to understand.
I laughed to hear she was on a diet,

sitting on cheeks like two stuffed pies
seemed different now as she swayed her arms
standing in the cafeteria line like any other day.

thunder and darkness flashing behind them.
I noticed her rolls as she squeezed and rotated
into a chair, ate quietly like a bird, saying few words.

like swelling round a bee sting. But
