Chopping bell peppers,
I slice my left thumb deeply;
blood splats on the floor.

my students droop on their desks
like fruit left to rot.

I put on my socks.
The sun slides across the sky.
I take off my socks.

Reprieve
Wind tosses the leaves
ecstatically to the air–
Summer is broken!

All day my eyes ache
from reading student essays:
Flowers grow so slow.

The cat stalks the bed;
insomnia’s companion.
A mouse hides nearby
