Missing

Posted on November 23, 2011 by

There are times when I don’t believe my eyes, and perhaps this time I shouldn’t have done. But, in November who knows what might happen?

MISSING

I walked down for the mail
and saw a man painting a house                              IMG_2948 ruined castle at Palluau
which he picked up
and carried away on his back

maybe sunlight glazed my vision
but there is definitely
a house missing
from our block
