“Stairs To Nowhere”

Ballgame at the Calcis Depot Kate Clinkscales Justice on her front steps - Calcis, Alabama Justice grandchildren Willie and Gadis Justice Calcis Depot

Stairs to nowhere,

where once was a home

fond memories live still

but the structure is long since gone.

12 steps reach to the sky

crawling vines climb toward the sun

grasses and wild roses

now claim this as a playground to run.

– Cathy Ann Abernathy
