Poem of the Week: Deserted Farm

Deserted Farm

by Mark Vinz

Where the barn stood

the empty milking stalls rise up

like the skeleton of an ancient sea beast,

exiled forever on shores of a prairie.

Decaying timber moans softly in twilight

the house collapses like a broken prayer.

Tomorrow the heavy lilac blossoms will open,

higher than the roof beams,reeling in wind.
