the left wall appears to be curved as if the house is gradually imploding.
saltboxes do not generally look that way.
to the left of the front door, a curved pole: atop that, a cube wrapped in a black flag.
it is as if the house recoils in hurt and dismay reacting to something that happened inside.
the photo stages mourning and its narcissism.
the world bends round as you collapse.
