An abandoned house in a faltering neighbourhood seen in passing.
Foliage rampantly camouflages
The brick and clapboards
Trim and paint in disarray
Once there was the scent
Of fresh cut pine linseed
Oil and linoleumed halls
Of lilac roses wisteria
Children's noises laundry
Snap on taut lines barked
Greetings from a backyard
Labrador and tree whispers
Now in dotage waiting
Silently forlorn empty
A shell of castoff detritus
Dead but for its memories

Empty Chrysalis
Desolate decaying lifelessFoliage rampantly camouflages
The brick and clapboards
Trim and paint in disarray
Once there was the scent
Of fresh cut pine linseed
Oil and linoleumed halls
Of lilac roses wisteria
Children's noises laundry
Snap on taut lines barked
Greetings from a backyard
Labrador and tree whispers
Now in dotage waiting
Silently forlorn empty
A shell of castoff detritus
Dead but for its memories
