the trees are changing
and
so am I
so are we
shifting in preparation
for the blanket of a new season

part of my series “Recess Poetry,” written during my first year of teaching in the fall of 2020, outside, during our 20 minutes of recess time.

what a gift to
remove the layer of
sense dulling
fabric and
breathe
the air

the first in a series I started during my first year of teaching in 2020 called “Recess Poetry.” all words written during our 20 minutes outside each day.
