Sunlight for two more months
flows through the classroom
dodges around table legs
and a lone pair with high-top shoes
halos across the exposed porcelain shoulder
melting into the flesh like butter
soft boughs of golden wheat
tumble against marble cheeks
across the room the teacher breathes
heavy, teeth, tongue and all
he looks back down at his on desk
which had never before seemed so gray
