Bad Blogger, Bad, Bad, Blogger

I know it's been over a month, but I don't like to write unless I have something to write about.

So, to tide you over, here is a tweaked version of a poem I wrote about my student.

One slice
then
another

Each
paper
not turned in

insult
muttered under the breath they think I do not hear
I hear

Carving out
my heart
slowly

Blatant insults
Attitude

Disregard
for me
For themselves

Watching
them sink
Watching
as they refuse the hand held out

Begging
to help
to save
To shelter

A cut
slowly
Bleeding out

Draining
Until nothing
But
Darkness

So close to…
hitting them over the head with a bat
(or whatever is handy)
