teaching

tuesday after labor day

i went back to school

meetings meetings meetings

and finally, on thursday, students.
a very good class.

aimee remembered how it is for me

and sent this

and see-there's still

indigo on my thumbnail!

from long ridge, where nancy

brewed a mighty vat!

my heart will remember this

 and this very large squishy one

 early september sky

 and in another direction, this.

~~~

there has been,

while i was away at work

not attending,

a turning towards winter.

we slipped over the edge

and there's no going back

only reminders.
