The Destruction of an Old House in Japan (Haibun)



The white sheet metal siding is streaked brown from too many years of exposure to wet and cold winters. The once solid square frame and high sweeping roof is now sagging. What did this old building contain, a family, treasures, simple junk? It is in a sad state, but sadder still is the indifferent wrecking machine that sits patiently in the front yard.
-leaves so large I thought they were roof tiles smashed on the ground in the rain
