Beautiful!
Pains of tree is outside, before autumn .
When autumn is full-fledged
pain will come inside…
Ways to go to be creating
again and, though, again
the way my teacher?s
whole body shook
sharpening a pencil
I love the way the perfect texture of "pencil shavings" is framed by two ways of looking at the start of the school year.
I work at a school. I’m going to share this with the staff!! Love this, so sensory and evoking the mixed emotions of the patterns of school life
autumn leaves fall
the old stripper
sheds her clothes ???
autumn rain
against the windows
empty room
