From roadside view
wisteria-enshrouded shack
barely standing witness
to a hard-scrabble past
but rich
in unspoiled places
pieces of the sacred
attached to the soul
yet unharmonious
among human denizens
riven in opposing groups
privileged white and second-class black
in silent reprise
flower-smothered ruin
haunting vestige of back-when
its beauty and its brutishness.
