to rust
all the beautiful things dim --
the '55 classic
         idle in a hot farm field
         embraced by weeds daring bloom flowers
         a certain rustic charm
all the beauty dimmed
         in sun-faded paint, tarnished chrome
a blended shape now landscape
as if sprouting, reimagined
         above the hood a tomb
of stick weeds obscuring dense
visages of a dark, passenger-free,
eerie cabin like impending death

all beauty dim
can't hum above a cricket now
         black bald mounted on crusted rim
         idle as the mid-day sun searing
beauty dimmed shines summer long
unobserved, a classic waste, but
no wreckers come near
it's sagging barn friend


4.10.21
rev. 4.14.21


was working on a rewrite for contest:

They crawl up to you as if daring restore your paint with their true seasonal color
The intertwine with the undercarriage crane to peer in dark windows made by their summer shade

All the beautiful things dim --
idle in a hot field, sun-friend
embraced by rustic charm
        sun-faded, half a century
tarnished chrome of former
blazing speed

a blended shape now landscape
as if sprouting, reimagined
        With the hood a tomb
adorned by last year's sticks
marking out dense visages
eerie cabin of impending death

all beauty dim
can't hum above a cricket now
        black bald mounted on crusted rim
        idle as the mid-day sun searing

beauty dimmed shines summer long,
unobserved classic American waste, but
no wreckers come
it's sagging barn friend
