The siding is gone above the
narrow roof that
barely protects the doorway
A doorway flanked by clotheslines
holding pink boxers, bandanas and a washcloth
Beside the steps, a defunct water heater,
a peeling stack of windows,
two chairs and a broken red wagon
A black-haired, barefooted women
leans into a yellow-shirted smiling blond man
Quietly Making Noise
