Beyond the Useful Life

Brandon Krieg

A crow drinks rain from a paint buckets overturned lid.Two teens lie on a rock after swimming, waiting for their cut-off fatigues^{1 to dry.Steelhead suspend inside the cab of a sunken Ford2 where the river bends.A heap of sun-bleached shells shines beside the oysterhouse.Under three bales of rusted3 fencing, a garter snake rests.The barns last remaining pane4 flashes as I bike past.}
