Rampant and wild

the honeymoon is over, 
it was disclosed sureptitiously
the porch wood was rotten
rotten to the core
so now it has been sawed up and disposed of, gone
to the wood dump
where it will transition in new form,
while i am here
with a new view
out the kitchen french doors
the yard looks expansive,
wet dirt leading to moss
and the infinite sky
that starts under my two favorite backyard trees
the previously placed porch furniture
is laid out helter skelter on the lawn
like a vacation with
no plan in sight
pleasantly freeform
the rabbits and squirrels don’t seem 
to mind this re-arrangement at all
i sit here now in this transitional space
doors wide open
where inside is outside
and dreams run rampant and wild
