Read the excerpt from "Shout: A Poetry Memoir."
A white glove waved, the guard crouched
wings tucked neatly behind her back,
eyes all-seeing
she wiped my tears and took my hand
and led me
up the hill again, gold and ruby leaves,
farther than I'd dared on my own tiny paws,
until we crested and scurried
down the other side and the houses
changed shape and at the very bottom
of the hill stood my new home
my mother waiting at the curb.
