Then we were on a plane,
to somewhere in Europe.
Father's new overseas job had

He enrolled me to school.
Sukina to nursery.

of children laughing
and screaming out words that I couldn't c o m p r e h e n d.

Chants and garbled attempts
to talk in Chinese, to mock
the way my eyes slanted,
and the food I ate.
