(Second Year) Sketches for (New Haven) Summer

Milo Rumble Becker
tuesday, west campus.
the sub-basement took its toll;
thirteen students left

Artem Bronnikov
(this) summer—leto
—& her daughter (artemis)
grew jealous of me

Margaux Cooper
measure once, cut twice,
bash with hammer and ask friend.
screw it, Lowe’s again.

Lilac Courtauld
i’m proud, not flush, feel…
tiles, floor, trim: nearly flush? be proud…
nothing’s square around here…

Thalia Fourli
lunch under the sun;
i’ll miss biking to the site.
pass me the nailgun.

Maggie Holm
punch, kick, stakin’ vamps,
buffy taught me how to slay—
body in order

Nina Kagan
bathes in morning dirt
grows fat on late summer seed
trapped in greenhouse f

Jess Kong
sharing is caring—
now where did my pencil go?
please buy more pencils…

McCloy Leonard
ideas you had,
moments we wanted to have—
part way there, i stopped.

Mizuki Ono
touch of breeze;
trace of the weight
deep in my hands.

Gabriela Romano
closer to my knees—
hardwood, cat’s paw, grout, nail, wire—
closer to promise.

Jiwoo Ryu
we walk among trees.
drawings settle into soil;
new roots wake the ground.

Willie Wiebe
“it looks amazing—”
“everything is going great—”
“you’re doing awesome—”

Cole Wyatt
new bright lobby lights
twenty pushpins in each lift
stains on the carpet
