Butter-yellow stucco
glows gold. Sunlight shatters
over the western wall.
There the eucalyptus,
eighty feet tall, drops seeds
fragrant as rainforests
in Australia. Shocked, she
conceived of life as a
sexually transmitted
disease ending in death.
Carve a heart: the cement
is still wet. Initials
inscribed therein remind
us of a school long closed.
