cabin

The hazy morning, after the night
of a great storm
The lost cabin,                     desolate,       unwelcome
Any lasting trace of life is
bleached by its obscurity
~ ~ ~
It is empty  . . . Vacant . . .
Nobody lives there anymore
Like an abandoned homestead, deep
in a briefly settled forest,
The wilderness re-stakes its
claim,
and it is forever
not forgotten
