snap: the new house
the lot can
barely contain
coded as castle
not palace
fortress perhaps
or prison
an utterly rect
angular facade
bifurcate by
centred double door
small windows
mirrored below
battlements
dull brown
noting nothing
welcome and
yet to see a human
being there

The dew is on the vineleaves.
My tree
is lit with the
break of day.
