Old Neighborhood

The houses all look different now
Tell me what you see
when you look through window squares
through the falling years
Because it seems it's always Monday here
on this cool spring day
with the sunlight clear as glycerin
And I can still smell it
the smell of damp wood
from the bucket of clothespins
It must be wash day
But it is thirty years now
since I slept in the backroom
or stepped onto the creaking porch
or picked up sunbeams
I never knew
where all the shiny dust belonged.
