Hardware Stall

Bottles jailed in plastic linger on the shelf, and tubes of glue dangle from the ceiling.
Cans of spray paint roost in cabinets
like sleeping canaries.
Behind the counter,
the owner’s teeth
sink into a chunk of apple.
Light pours onto her cheekbone,
eyes lock on the unknown.
Above her,
tape measures hang like
spiders from silk.
Here is the same piece as a graphic poem with illustrations by the whole class!
TREE BONES by Vanessa, age 8, Timothy, Nam & Wellington, age 9 & Alan, age 10

Tree Bones
The sky’s
night light
peeks over
the horizon.
Little
stars raid
the violet night.
Tree bones
Tree bones
rise
from the dirt.
Wind swishes
across your face.`
Pick up as
many branches
as you can and
bury them.
Check on them
tomorrow
and see if
they
are
still
there.
NAIL SALON by Helen, Tony, Ali, Jack, Timothy, Misu, Anvivi & Binh, age 9 & Carmen, Angelina, Vanessa & Emily, age 8
Nail Salon
Chemicals drift around my nose,
and bottles of polish clatter
and clink
on the shelf. Clippers click,
files whisper,
dryers whir.
From beneath the sound,
Mom paints finger and toenails
the color of crashing Atlantic waves,
of morning,
of sunflowers,
of paradise,
frost
and blood,
and a million stars
gleaming down
from a
Saigon
sky.

From a wire above, papers dangle.
Bandages flu er onto the floor,
and the smell of blood and Purell leaps through the air.
Scribbled letters dance across
white boards
that reflect
florescent light
and sunshine
piercing through the window.
Ms. Peggy slides a drawer shut
and paper clips
clink and scatter across her desk.
Steam rises from a mug of coffee, and when
that kid who breaks crayons
knocks it over,
dark liquid puddles on the floor.
Ring ring ring.
Click click click.
In the corner,
balls gobble air.
