four room house
little four room house
little four room house
had an old tin roof
when it stormed
rain made wonderful sounds
for the boy
lying in bed listening
daddy said it sounded like
a cow peeing
daddy resented
the rain on
the tin roof because roof leaked
daddy and boy would have
to climb ladder to attic to
empty the coffee cans spaced

summer nights 1950s
summer nights 1950s
curtains hang lifeless
awaiting breeze that does not come
whippoorwill sings
hot and sweaty song
it doesn’t feel like singing
boy hears whistle’s blast
of a night train
slowly crawling its way
through the country side
breaking the silence at each crossing
ambulance sirens scream
through hot night air
transporting wounded
