“Snake in Our Midst,” ” House of Mirrors,” and “Entwined”

on the sunbaked
patio, a little girl,
discovers a snake
sunning itself
on a boulder
she runs into
the house
jubilantly reports
the presence…

“Déjà vu,” “Among the Remains,” and “In an Instant”

Threat of late Spring rain,
against the chalk scrawled blackboard,
shower of bullets.

Teachers throw bodies
splashing over stunned students
last lectures of love.

“Cursive,” “The Phone Calls” and “Death Can’t Stop the Rap”

A declaration from the district office
