Beyond the Useful Life

Brandon Krieg

A crow drinks rain from a paint bucket’s overturned lid.Two teens lie on a rock after swimming, waiting for their cut-off fatigues¹ 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 barn’s last remaining pane⁴ flashes as I bike past.
