A Douglas Fir towers in the sky
Magnolia blossoms still cling to branches where they dried
Workmen in leather gloves raise the dust
A laboring engine pumps slurry under sinking concrete
In our friends absence
After seven or eight weeks, their house sold
Rao left supervision of a hundred engineers
To assist Nirupama during her father's heart surgery in India
The decision to sell the house...
Dissatisfaction with career, interviews with a competitor
Family concerns
The house has too many stairs if the parents move here
Recovery presumed, Nirupama's father abruptly died
Prayers to Jesus and the gods still hang in the air
Yesterday or a month ago, we laughed together
Their brown-eyed boy, Anniru, climbed my chair
Rao has returned to the apartment and work
Nirupama says later in September
After she settles her worst ordeal ever
