cold days





two downy woodpeckers overhead,
knocking on a dying trunk.
hank's even footsteps in the snow
oddly quiet.
my breath, sharp and slight
in this january chill.

something new, something old

I have never been on this side of things; always rather on the side of craming for tests, falling asleep during class, and the like. and now that i am on the other side, craming to make tests, falling asleep during lesson planning, i see that these to roles are not that different. i am ready for summer just like the 24 students counting down their days until june.
