Farmhouse abandoned at the end of the lane
kept open by tractors and wagons
of the farmer who now tends these fields
but lives over the rise in another house
also known by the prefix "old,"
The Old Kreger Place,
The Old Stahl Place,
The Old Faidley Place––
like that, the barn and outbuildings
used for storage, but the house is quiet
and filled with the past,
and it makes you stop and listen for voices,
because you know the past never dies,
and in fact it is happening now.
