Jenny Ward Angyal

Outside the Frame

Course descriptions, campus maps, diagrams—no amount of searching reveals where my class will meet.  And besides, I can’t even remember its name.  F—surely it began with F?  Fables, perhaps, or Falconry?  Maybe Fearlessness? Just fragments. And the alphabetical list shows nothing at all under F.  I stop rummaging and listen. Somewhere a phoebe sings. 

day moon—
I write my name
on a passing breeze
