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...

Route 20 across
New York State
before the thruway
got all the traffic…
and now gets much
less…

art, beauty, details, houses, Ithaca, loss, neglect, New York, peeling paint, photography, poetry, tanka, wabi sabi, windows

wondering if this is what
my parents felt,
in their own time
seeing a better past slip
ever further behind

 

no way to get there from here

no way
to get there
from here

the wind in the trees
reminds me
that what once was
so important
just passes by

delivery truck in the good old days  permanently parked

delivery truck
in the good old days
permanently parked
