Terra Cotta Clay

Terra Cotta Clay
David J Walker

Somehow the house still felt like it was his
Wistful rejection 

The days through the doors 
The chores 

The noisy neighbors annoyed at any form of complaint
The peeling paint

The frail frame and clapboard refrain 
The sun and rain 

	And dust in bursts of wind 
Send failing faith in every direction

Terra Cotta clay failing inspection
Wistful validation 

	Cancellation 

Time has been unkind to this frame 
Yet somehow lost souls remain 

In its protection
