White House

breathes

down ladle neck.

-

Side Screen

drenched

in sticky moss mold.

-

Rust Roof

frying

at touch of pearl sun.

-

Happy Ghost

waves

up the chimney.

-

Window Man

turned

away from the stir.

-

Light String

showers

over bronze head.

-

Miss Angels

poised

toward the black.

-

Flower Bunch

taunts

behind pane.

-

Slab Path

fades

on grey powder dirt.

-

Iris Tips

cook

beside mowed hay.

-

Rod Plastic

guards

against booted feet.

-

Red Kerchief

flits

with draft wing.

-

Shadow Girl

slips

under peeled paint.

-

Curtains Five

drape

before secrets stacked.

-

Iron Moon

dangles

against wood panel.

-

Oak Gnarl

points

to wind heaven.
