Reclaiming it all Nov 12, 2014

 

 

Meadow Grass grows where a building used to stand, the rubble just visible now that summer has surrendered to fall, the walls of it like the remains of a broken tooth with stairs going down to its roots, rain leaving puddles in the deepest places where a duck lives looking for food that just isn't there, the meadow that stood here before the building did reclaiming it's empire, one slow inch at a time, and by spring or more likely summer, the wall will be gone from sight, clinging to the Earth just to survive, and I wonder when will the bulldozers come and when will they reclaim it all, building new walls and taking all claim of what came before, soon, I think, maybe by autumn
