nothing much to look at
spread out reaching
denigrated as basic
the once weather proof front
now patches of gray
where brown paint peels away
inside dark as a dead tooth
with a crucifix hanging
on the kitchen wall
plated bronze tarnished
tousle-haired children smile
holding up fish
from faded photos in the hall
outside beyond
the yellowed lawn
until dusk
we swim in the ocean
