I jumped and cried and jumped some more,
My tears now sat there on the floor.
We hugged, for once, we hugged so long –
The seven of us. Last day gone.

I sniffled and laughed and sniffled some more,
Their voices filling rooms and doors.
We clapped, again, we whooped with glee.
Last day gone, leave happily.

It hit, and hurt, and hit again,
12 years, where'd they go? and when?
Our fruits, accomplished and complete,
Others cried, there's happy feet.

We squeezed and blinked and squeezed again,
A human touch, a human hand,
some eyes reflecting like a pool,
Our last official day of school.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
