chafe at circumstance
rebel against assignments
memorize my past
lake channels ocean
long to catch air on kiteboard
slog on foot instead
work up appetite
devour peace and quiet
champions' breakfast
buzzing annoyance
fight to hold silver lining
claustrophobia
ducks drift through plastic
we erect false barriers
climate batters heart
sunshine extraction
moonlight gently calls me home
struggle in between
dawn of semester
unprepared with willing heart
clutch seeds like milkweed
