Home

It was as if I stepped back in time 
today.
Called upon at the last minute 
to teach an art class.
A number of years having passed since that room has been my 
home. 

Scrambling to find 
a dry erase marker, 
pencils,
and erasers 
within the room that was no longer my 
home.

Bringing a basket of Elephant and Piggie books
plus a few Pigeon
to a waiting group of first graders,
we began. 
Which character would be easiest to draw? 
Hmmm. 
Pointer fingers as pencils, 
watch me, then you
draw.  
Home. 

Supplies distributed, 
students read, 
asked questions, 
and drew, 
and colored, 
and added 
backgrounds, 
conversation bubbles, 
and other details. 
Home. 

As the day 
and the class 
ended, 
it was as though I was 
Home, 
already.
