Church is boring. 

I wipe down the table; 

Lee cracks her hundredth egg.

My mother mixes everything like some medieval witch.


I can almost hear the Hocus Pocus theme song.

I giggle like an anime character—

Wiping the smear of flour off Lee's cheek.

She blushes. 


Our eyes lock for a moment. 

I wonder if I see more in her gaze than she wanted to show.

It was almost like there was a place—

Inside where her heart aches.


It is like she drank what she wasn't supposed to—

What they told her not too.

I hope someday they—

Stop making her pay the price.
