apart from the decay

  
  an old shed leans crookedly in the tall grass.

  a door is lifted and opened.

 like a warn vinyl record to the needle rusty hinges 
snap and crackle as they turn.  

  between slight variations in tone metallic 
yesterdays speak through hinged lips. 

i am apart from the decay they say.

  
now little is inside except some dust with a
 few oddities scattered around.

 a dented paint can that had been knocked over, 
the paint lieing on the floor in a dry puddle. 

   the dried paint splintered out in an ornate pattern 
relects in sort of a greenish blue color.

it seems to innocent and pure for its surroundings.

the paint speaks through its flat chipped throat lowly.

 i am apart from the decay it say's.


  outside the sun overhead has learned

  to speak in parables but the dandilions

  dont seem to mind.
