Ohhh you kill me!!
your gold fish are gone, your silk fans sold, and your Samsonite train-case claimed by a stranger.
And this is fantastic - neighborhood children will scream against the wind, without your even being here,
the rest of the world light as flying feathers. Wow!
Oh, the lion, the lion, you kill me again and again:
There too is the lion-knocker, the knocked over pergola...**
I mentioned my sister wanting to tear down our childhood home and force our 80+ yr old parents into a new house on the remote farm. Now I wish I'd written to the prompt - remote - yet for a small number of people, it's home. It's iconic. My sister the wrecking ball...
Thank you again for your accolades and encouragement!
For whatever reason my format was screwed up in the line breaks, but the words are still all there and glad it still packed a punch.
Sister's as wrecking balls, now there's a prompt!
