Abandoned

Emily Yamasaki

School Abandoned
No one sitting in those blue chairs
Teachers care,
Dust on desks, no pencil tin
it’s really in
the dim, empty hall; no tracked mud
our blood
feels lifeless without a “hey, bud”
A school with no pulse or heartbeat
eerie and just a bit too neat

Teachers care, it’s really in our blood
