This week’s prompt was If these walls could talk:
This house speaks.
Floorboards groan,
walls crack like
lightening bolts.Windows insist
Wash me! Snow-
melt drips, drips,
from the eves.Paintings proclaim
blue, green, gold;
they announce
Alaska, New Mexico,Pennsylvania. Listen,
you can hear wings:
parakeets, iron angels,
carved wood goddessesfrom Thailand and Bali.
Icarus. New Guineau.
This glass whispers
Czechoslovakia.A flowered bowl blooms
China. Beads cry Africa!
That sheepskin says: home,
here, mountain, Montana.
