Ludlam St House Details – 2-5-2012

Snow on my window sill

Water boiler in my room

Chain and padlock on my old gray-painted study desk

Attractive shirt, pants and a jacket that did not fit

Rough plank flooring under the linoleum

Storm windows my Dad was often late in installing

The Greek’s green, wooden, picket fence separating our yard from his

His well kept green lawns and our more basic, dusty brown landscape

His productive garden area in the backyard near the Roussel’s massive , grayish cinderblock multi-car garage wall

A cracked window pane in my bedroom
