The White House
the violet flowers
were brightest at dusk
surrounded by an unkept yard
they built their own landscape
coming only once a year
after months of ice
they bloomed from the ground
only at this house
the windows smashed
the white paint peeling
but there wasn't an empty feeling.
the house; abandoned, yet not forgotten
...and the violet flowers
were something to mask
the terrible things
of the house's past.
