urbanization
a century farm house built
of solid field stone
home to generations
in neglect resting on an acreage,
divided in half for two families
with no farming history,
the barn neglected, over-run with feral cats
roosting pigeons in the empty silos
the orchards and pastures over grown,
the city creeps near,
a rectangular cement cattle trough
now
a place to burn garbage,
an aresal can explodes in the flames,
three grazing horses bolt before
they settle to warily graze
