a leak

do you see

that hole?

oh yes

let it drip

drop

unto the floor.

later that night

a storm came by

and blew and blew

and bore its damage through.

the next day was sad,

the next month worse,

and though the house

still stands

the hole expands,

eating itself

inside out.

see the acid

leak about.

this year

the colors went away

and in their place,

a lonely, dying grey.
