if you are a teacher there is no other month like this one
celebrating blackberries, lake dips, forest walks, lanquid evenings, full moons, meteor showers, ice cream, cook outs
and yet all the while…
mind buzzing imagining room arrangements, surrepticious visits to a classroom to dust off book shelves, sharpen pencils, make space for stiff backpacks and tissue boxes
waking up in the middle of the night, making a note to remember one more thing
and then trying to sleep in, mindful that soon
a summer morning in bed will be a thing of the past
