Emma feels lost not knowing her path and wants to move out on her own to find herself.
The song "Red Right Ankle" by The Decemberists tells the story of companionship in war through metaphor. The red ankle refers to both love and blood, while also representing how soldiers support one another like ankles support the body. The different verses discuss wartime camaraderie, the desire to know lost family, and how those who served are still remembered in the heart. "Shoes" by Chris Volpe is about using constant movement to escape one's troubles, which are too painful to confront. "While You Were Sleeping" by Elvis Perkins may see God as having created the world and then gone to sleep, with verses like "you grew your power garden" representing biblical references from a potentially De

1. THE WEIGHT OF SWEETNESS
No easy thing to bear, the weight of sweetness.
Song, wisdom, sadness. Joy: sweetness
equals three of any of these gravities.
See a peach bend
the branch and strain the stem until
it snaps.
Hold the peach, try the weight, sweetness
and death so round and snug
in your palm.
And, so, there is
The weight of memory:
Windblown, a rain-soaked
bough shakes, showering
the man and the boy.
They shiver in delight,
and the father lifts from his son’s cheek
one green leaf
fallen like a kiss.
The good boy hugs a bag of peaches
his father has entrusted
to him.
Now he follows
his father, who carries a bagful in each arm.
See the look on the boy’s face
as his father moves
faster and farther ahead, while his own steps
flag, and his arms grow weak, as he labors
under the weight
of peaches.
2. Early in the Morning
While the long grain is softening
in the water, gurgling
over a low stove flame, before
the salted Winter Vegetable is sliced
for breakfast, before the birds,
my mother glides an ivory comb
through her hair, heavy
and black as calligrapher’s ink.
She sits at the foot of the bed.
My father watches, listens for
the music of comb
against hair.
My mother combs,
pulls her hair back
tight, rolls it
around two fingers, pins it
in a bun to the back of her head.
For half a hundred years she has done this.
My father likes to see it like this.
He says it is kempt.
But I know
it is because of the way
my mother’s hair falls
when he pulls the pins out.
Easily, like the curtains
when they untie them in the evening.
18. Falling: The Code
1.
Through the night
the apples
outside my window
one by one let go
their branches and
drop to the lawn.
I can’t see, but hear
the stem-snap, the plummet
through leaves, then
the final thump against the ground.
Sometimes two
at once, or one
right after another.
During long moments of silence
I wait
and wonder about the bruised bodies,
the terror of diving through air, and
think I’ll go tomorrow
to find the newly fallen, but they
all look alike lying there
dewsoaked, disappearing before me.
2.
I lie beneath my window listening
to the sound of apples dropping in
the yard, a syncopated code I long to know,
which continues even as I sleep, and dream I know
the meaning of what I hear, each dull
thud of unseen apple-
body, the earth
falling to earth
once and forever, over
and over.
3. Eating Alone
I've pulled the last of the year's young onions.
The garden is bare now. The ...

5. Nimbus
The Little Rain Cloud
Along his journeys, Nimbus the Little Rain Cloud, always treasures
his gift of producing water and spreading it across the world.
But, when he tries to help with his special gift, things actually seem to
get worse. He begins to wonder if his gift isn’t so special after all. As he
feels unwanted, he drifts away from causing anymore damage.

8. Thanks to my uncle Cory, who always gave me advice, taught me to chase my dreams
and told me there are endless possibilities out there. He told me, “You won’t work a
day in your life, if you do what you love.” That’s exactly what I’m doing…what I love!
Thanks to my dad who taught me to “draw” outside the lines. He told
me I could create anything I want in life, I just have to follow through
and it’s only a matter of time until I get it. Thanks for everything!
And a special thanks to my mommy who believed in me even when
I didn’t believe in myself and who saw some part of me that was
invisible, but thanks to her, now the whole world can see.

Once upon a time, long, ago, lived a little rain cloud named, Nimbus.
He lived with his friends and family high up in the sky.
10. 4
They travelled all around the world to rain on the land so the plants,
people, and animals could stay hydrated and live a long happy life.
But there came a time when the little clouds had to leave
their families so they could be independent.
11. 5
At first, Nimbus was sad because he missed his family and friends. But then he
made new friends and realized he might have a family of his own one day.
12. 6
Nimbus explored all around the world, sprinkling water over the
land. But one day he noticed something was wrong.
He saw rows of food sprouting and thought, “Oh man, they
must be thirsty. I will sprinkle water on it.”
He heard a faint echo in the distance.
A farmer ran out to the field yelling, “Oh no! I already watered the
crops today. Now they are going to drown! Go rain! Go!”
13. 7
So Nimbus flew away leaving nothing but his tears behind him.
While Nimbus searched for a place to be appreciated,
he noticed two kids playing beneath him.
"I wish it wasn’t so hot today, Liam,” said Zoey.
Liam nodded in agreement. Nimbus grinned in excitement. He sprinkled
down his rain to cool them off so they could play happily.
But the kids didn’t look happy at all.
SSSS
14. 8
"Now we can’t play outside because it’s raining,” cried Liam.
"I know, we can sing a song to get rid of it, so it’s sunny again,” suggested Zoey.
15. 9
"Rain, rain go away, come again just not today,” they sang. “Rain,
rain go away, come again just not today,” they repeated.
The more they sang, the more Nimbus felt unwanted. Nimbus
left and the children cheered as the sun took his place.
16. 10
Since the children and the farmer didn’t want him there, he decided
to go to the forest where he was always welcomed.
There he saw Native Americans surrounding burning flames.
"Fire!” Nimbus shouted.
Then he poured down his rain, putting out the fire. He thought the
natives would be thankful, but instead they were furious.
"No! It took us so long to make this fire! Now how are we going to cook
our food and keep the tribe warm tonight?” the chief groaned.
17. 11
So Nimbus left before he could ruin anything else.
"Nobody wants me,” he pouted.
So Nimbus went far away into a cave since nobody needed him anymore.
Nimbus wept as he watched the stars dance at night and while
the moon chased after the sun day after day. Meanwhile, he fed
off the memories of bringing happiness to the world.

In the distance, the brother and sister were excited to play in the lake,
but when they reached their destination, they realized it was gone!
"Where’s all the water?” asked Liam

"We’re sorry rain for wishing you away!” they apologized,
realizing they took it for granted.
The farmer had some problems of his own. When he
reached his crops, he realized they were wilting.

"Oh no! These plants need water, without it they’re going to die,” the farmer exclaimed.
He realized that if the plants wilted, his family would go hungry. So he prayed.
In the meantime, the natives had very little water to drink.
"Without the rain, the tribe will be forced to go through tough times,”
announced the chief as he gathered the village people together.

"We will need water to drink, for cooking food, bathing and to
help fight disease. We have to chant!” So they did.
The children sang, the farmer prayed and the natives chanted.
Even though Nimbus was far away, he heard their calls. He was so thrilled to
be wanted again. Without wasting another second he rushed to his name!
He poured down his rain until every last shrub had enough water.
The Indians danced.
