rushing in my ears.
A swarm of bees
between my eyes.
On the train standing
with people, feel a faint
storm in my stomach.
Outside sit on sidewalk.
In school, watch kids
and say no words.
Glands like tree trunks
swallow sorrily.
Two days of antibiotics
and it all goes away.

Thirteen ways of looking at:
A mother and son dressed in white
From left to right, every hand occupied
Unseen leaves shiver, casting shadows
Beauty and plainness in sharp contrast
Time imprinted more heavily on some faces
Age weighed down some of the bodies
But all move with intentions to take care
Two young boys close in age being fed
A day neither recalls but knows happened
Unknown hands hold the camera
Twenty years ago, this balcony held a family
Spring or summer fills the sky with greenery
Shiny cheeks revealing the day’s heat
