TV antenna
still rests atop
steep-pitched peaked
roof
right above my
bedroom window
looking out at the Busse house
through the line of plum trees
and the old sidewalk
almost overgrown with grass still
borders white-clad house resting
on cement foundation
remember
the time we moved the house
to dig a new basement
without a cistern
trees surround with
stately summer-green steadfastness
in yard and garden of TV antenna memories
which merge with
present panoply of
experience and concern
in this peaked childhood home
