It’s been 6 months!  We have a new sighting… Mrs. Klopeck is out in the dark cutting up a tree that fell during a bad storm in March.  She’s using an electric chain saw the size of a hedge clipper.  Been at it for about two hours now… These people don’t cut their lawn all summer, and now she’s out there cutting tiny branches off dead trees??? I can’t even see the trees on the ground anymore because the grass is so fucking high!

Last night there was a beautiful full moon.  Its magnificent light glistened off the plastic blue tarp that covers their garage roof.  It was breath taking.  You could see the two dead trees sprawled across their yard.  It was almost magical how the light danced upon the dead branches and cast a shadow across the deck that’s crumbling away from the back of their house.  The glow of moonlight  illuminated the entire yard. It was lit up like Yankee Stadium, allowing every detail of broken furniture and collection of crap a spot light like a broadway show to be viewed in all its glory.

The noise is silent now… perhaps she cut off her leg and is slowly exsanguinating in the dark.  Be still my heart… could my prayers have been answered? Only the sweet light of morning… or perhaps, residual glow from the full moon will reveal what I hope to be true… 🙂
