It’s a castle. A cottage in the woods.
A cozy split-level for four in a
friendly suburb. See the white

picket fence?
It’s a cabin in a
dense forest. A humble condo
at the lake. Hear the

waves?
It’s a shanty by the sea.
Warmed by hope, she imagines all the
things that it could be.
Anything
but a cardboard refrigerator
………………….box
on a lonely, indifferent
corner.

Can I come too??? Puh-leeeeez!!!
Ouch. Perfectly led me into a surprise ending. Great job.
Oh this really pings the heart. Such a powerful contrast.
I wonder about the thoughts of these unfortunate people. Wonderful poem, De.
