it all begins
a simple crack
in what was
back lot…
no one parks here
anymore

once upon a time
from grandma’s porch
the world
Route 20 across
New York State
before the thruway
got all the traffic…
and now gets much
less…

within themselves

the sky
once again changes
the hay bale
as bleak as it might look
the sky opens above
to show some blue
