It looms above us rotten now

Browned, maroon and beige, and sunk

Gnarled weeds chewing panels

A flexing frame, a sagging roof

Auburn vespers coil high

Knitting, purling, melting dusk

Wispy reeds rustle, sough

Agrestic gusts waft and blow

Detritus, straw, a shovel and spade

Lay beneath two fallen beams

Cypress shards and rusted wheels

Roll ensouled above the loam

It groans a low and somber moan

Even from a harmless zephyr

Let it sink and let it rest

Let it crumble in torpid slumber

nature poetry
