The sound of the door opening

was enough to wake me up,

though the sound of my dad

telling me to pack was a surprise.

A plume of smoke streaking the sky

muted the sound of helicopters

and fire engines. The sound

of protocol and panic

from news anchors and family

led to worries the sound I’d hear

myself say would be:

“My house burned down.”
