students she takes home nightly

They follow her around at school
Where she leaves most of them
She has not learned yet to leave the others
They tug on her arms and beg for extra attention
She sees them in her poetry
She meets them on canvases
She dances with them in her dreams
With no idea how to shake them, she nurtures them and loves them
Giving them the tiny bits of extra attention, they need
Even in her dreams
