Pocono Manor

The green grey stones
dripped with wet moss
painting pictures 
splayed across the sidewalk.

Spider web glass windows
staring over the 
precipice into 
the dark valley below.

Boarded up entrances
rain stained, porch 
screaming, creaking 
under light feet. 

The house looking back 
at the young blues and
browns searching through
cracks to see mystery murder
faces. 

Fearless innocence hoping
to find answers in the 
left behind rubble of empty
chairs, broken tables and
baby doll eyes staring 
into the moon drawn night.
