My Grandmother's Sari
by Aanya
My grandmother's wedding sari
is folded in a trunk
like something sleeping.
She says I can wear it
when I get married,
and I don't know how to tell her
I'm not sure about marriage,
or about anything that far away —
I can barely decide what to wear
to school on Monday.
So I just say okay,
and touch the silk,
and let her have this one,
easy and golden,
because some things
you give people
just by listening.
