For you, who teach every day, whether it’s a matter of pay or not, from Rattle 53, Fall 2016.
from Sestina for Adjuncts / by Rebecca Snow
Enough clothes and books should fit in our car-home; keep
putting the students first. Remember to teach them critical thinking. Fate
holds us by the string, urges us to be a kite, but doesn’t let us go anywhere.

Lodged tight for days
in a corner of the wall,
ladybug can’t resist the tree
For our fathers, from Poetry, December 2016.
from The Mask Now / by Jorie Graham
In last week wore red sleepmask over eyes day and night. Would
ride it up onto his forehead for brief intervals, then down, pulled by
hand that still worked. A bit. Sometimes shaking too much so just
cried eyes.
