On the deck is
the metal furniture I put together
the tables and chairs
and the dead flower pots
void of life at this time
beyond the deck
on the dead grass thats
only slightly green still,
is the dead rose bushes
adorning the sides of the arbor
-I even put that together
the old yellow shed
and the new blue pool
brown on the bottom with leaves
I look out to the fence and
Beyond the lifeless trees
a black outline aginst the sky,
I see the car lot’s roof first
the copper of Kickapoo Corners
just maybe I can see the gym roof
I can always see the hospital,
the brown block in the background,
but never the school
even though I know it’s there
actually, its spring here so the trees are blocking...
