Description
East-side view of the farmhouse surrounded by overgrown grasses and smartweed. Structural damage to the roof is visible.
“I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth.” Dewey Dell, As I Lay Dying
By mid-May, the grasses and weeds surrounding the farmhouse were bushy. I had to walk through them to circle the dwelling. My steps stirred up pollen, and I hoped my blue jeans, tall socks, and rubber boots would block chiggers from my skin.
From a distance, when I squatted low and focused on the foreground, the east side of the farmhouse seemed almost like someone’s home. Then I noticed the detached roof and remembered, the house was broken along its spine.
