lyrics

the front door’s
an open yawn,
a trickle of possessions
spill out over the lawn:

like planted, silk roses

petals sun-bleached and pale
they packed the pickup
up with just essentials,
left the TV by the swale

and the family was gone
the family was gone

before the eviction notice noted
as it fluttered on a porch post
before the police escort showed up
landlord on a cell phone

the TV’s cord had been scavenged
for the copper inside
left peeled back black plastic
like an animal’s hide

the family was gone
