a navy sky at nine AM by Jennifer Nolan
A navy sky at nine A.M, Classroom lights are on. It’s good to be indoors when Outside, rain spits from the gutter- Splashing off the grass like cow piss. High-heels clacking, Echoing through the corridor Grow louder. Click Clack, Click Clack, Click Clack Hearts pound Thud ump, Thud ump, Thud ump. A dreadful fear silences the children.
