Description

Growing 

first is forest 

then a house on the eastern edge 

then one in the west 

then one in the middle 

where there is space among the trees 

because they will stay put 

finally the barn on the road 

to receive visitors 

and to create a backdrop 

not a unity – a succession 

but also a co-existence 

in the forest
