Libertyville, IL
November 4, 2009
yellow old house,
pale as the skeleton memories
drip soaked into the the fibers
of the faded American flag
as it peers onto the sidewalk.
leaf splattered and
cracking, Where I used to live.
Where I nestled as a rat in more than enough blankets,
Where I squealed, beckoning dawn with a little boy's glee,
Where Christmas was felt, and lying on the carpet
I ate and wept and bled and all of it,
All of it radiates
through the marrow of the yellow walls
soaking in the Illinois sun.
