Growing up too fast

The door slams open to reveal my sister

holding her stuffed tiger.

Again,

I wait for someone,

anyone,

to hear another argument,

but no neighbors come,

so I sigh and beckon my sister to my bed,

while I stand up to close the door.

I tuck her in

and I kiss her cheek.

I cover her ears

and she falls asleep.

I wait hugging my knees to my chest

as I hope

that end is soon to come.
