Dear Ruby

2023-11-10

Dear Ruby,

Where you at

Are you asleep?

I know you couldn’t have gotten a flat

Sheeba and I

Await your presence

So inquisitive

In this academic essence

I wonder where you go

From 8-9

When the sun is still low

Every day I gaze thru the door

Hoping sweet ruby

Will appear once more

The majestical opening,

What a grand entrance

You sweeping through the classroom

Looking the opposite of a mance ( menace with accent)

This morning we learned

Of groundwater in law

Riparian doctrine

Me, there, in awe

So upon my questioning

I think I might ask

Will you be here,

Next class?

I wish you are well

I see you in grin

But I don’t really know

How you’re doing behind your chin

I will end with this

I care about your heart

In all of this abyss
