After the Thaw

ten years too late

four walls rise from the pit

shore up the north room

the floor slopes away


beyond the heaps of soil

rock, rotted clapboard, foam block

concrete forms

                         the earth

greens, the wild flowers


leggy shrubs unfurl

mature trees sprout yellow

catkins & tented leaves


I clear a swath of brush

kindle a green fire

white smoke, orange flame
