rays of golden sunshine

reflect the ruins

a porch handrail

The gravity of your words makes your reader swallow hard. It's amazing what survives in the landscape of ruin. I suppose it is left behind for us to learn from, to appreciate what is ours today, can be lost tomorrow.

I look across the street and the reminder is there every day.
thank you, Kelly,

Erin,
This has all the purity of a Haiku, only more relaxed... I have appreciated this scene a million times, but it is always brand new!

Puts me in mind of an abandoned property in Buies Creek. I was out rurexing one day and found a property where all that remained of the home that once stood there was their porch with awnings, steps, and wrought iron fittings still in-situ.

And that is pretty much all that is left of my neighbor's house, Momz.
You read with such clarity and openness...thank you.

This has the feel of more than a diy project gone wrong. Im guessing because there are no obvious clues, but to me it has the feel of some natural disaster, perhaps its the reflected sunshine, as the calm after the storm, which i am told happens after chaos is unleashed.
Intrigueing write for its brevity though Jacob. It leads my thoughts to pondering.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, a disaster, but not so natural.
thank you for your words,

Powerful work. You bring the reader right into the scene. Vivid and sharp.

Oh damn not the handrail. Home improvement projects are no fun and if you need a little help going upstairs it becomes a bit sketchy

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you P.B.....the subject who inspired this piece almost went way upstairs.

sounds like a thousand old farm hoses that have been abandoned all over the midwest as the families moved on

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Love this comment and where you took this.
thank you, D.
