Gasps of wind push clouds across the sky in a slow-motion race for blue hills on the horizon. Shadows pass over cottonwood tops and broken beams, rest on rusted scraps of tin. The roof is gone. The twisted pieces sprawl in the grass while a sprinkler clicks and clicks and clicks, always turning to the right. Autumn leaves leak green and soon, the snow will come.
