This week
How could a plain yard be so beautiful ?
A ramshackle of objects tumbled
from each, every room
of this foreboding house.
A four-post bed stripped of varnish,
mould creeping up its legs
saw the births of George, Ann,
Terry, Benjamin, Gloria; the deaths
of a parson, a banker, a billionaire.
An imposing Ming vase: a lovers' bridge,
a dragon spitting fire from a rocky ledge;
a wooden dolls' house, an exact replica,
complete with furniture, right down
to a cracked enamel washbasin,
a rugged counter with a grey plaster fish.
All strewn across memories below
falling snow.
