The Old Barn

 

Atop the falling barn

squeaks an arrow-

turning painfully with the wind

perhaps yelling

at the rusty, bent nails

who never cared which direction they pointed,

and who are now

in their old age –

finding it hard to support

the gravity beckoned planks.


There – in a unison of cries

leveled

bursting dust

 a stabbing reunion

between a now silent arrow

and a long awaited rooster

turned to rust.
