Alice's House
Redbud and dogwood have blossomed
above the tulips and jonquils where
Alice's house used to be.
A possum and raccoon nose around
where the garage was before the tornado.
An armadillo has joined them.
Someone has hung a red feeder from
the old clothesline. No hummingbirds yet.
Spring has brought new life over there.
