The Discovery.

Heavy,thick dust on the floors and benches Open back door and a key on the table Grass uncut, beer bottles strewn about Brown water spurting out, pipes detached Original wallpaper melting off the walls.. Old ,loose fitting, rusty handles on doors The house is empty,rotting junk mail aplenty A vine inside creeped in from the floorboards No kitchen,no handrail,where are the landlords? A peaceful view of a backyard with a wild turkey Lorikeets happily feasting on bright flowered tree. Misty sun showers on a western mountain horizon. She said "Do you like what you see of our discovery?" Her pointy nose + fine sense of scent lead us there.
