Returning to a Golden State
I am an immigrant to the strange state of Connecticut, even though I’ve lived here for over a decade. Sometimes, I don’t know how to react to people who make assumptions about me — about my background, my race, my kids, my job, my interests. I feel like a foreigner when searching out those who have a similar background to mine, because I seldom find any hapa who were raised with the Asian side of their family, like I was in California.

In Mourning
Georgia’s eyes were milky with cataracts, blind. A navy suit hung in the closet of the room, long-skirted and somber for the occasion. Not black — too formal, she’d thought when in the store a few months back. Navy conveyed regret without being in-your-face about all this funeral business. And the color of the suit matched her once-clear eyes. “Blue as the coming twilight,” her husband told her when they’d first met.
