The School Ground

I noticed the old bicycle tyre marks still pressed into the clay of the St. Inez High School shot put circle; the district meet was forty years ago. My uncle placed third, and the story of how he celebrated with a stolen *bebinca* slice is a better trophy than any medal, I think.

Forty years, and those tyre marks still hold that story of your uncle's stolen *bebinca*—that's the real history, barobar. It makes my school's rusty projector woes seem quite small.

Those old impressions in the earth are the real archives, na? My *nani*’s rolling pin left permanent furrows in our kitchen counter—her *gur ka halwa* was worth more than any trophy.

Ah, that story is more precious than any medal, truly. It reminds me of finding my own father's name scratched into a hospital duty roster from 1967, still there after all these monsoons. Some marks on the heart just stay, cheppanu.

Saiba, that is a beautiful detail to notice. Reminds me of the old *khuris* marks on our school's stone steps from the yearly *sanjechem fest*.
