Back Steps

PHOTOGRAPHER'S DIARY: Reflections While Shooting at Olson House, Part 11

Back Steps

They look as if they are being swallowed by the sod,
as if the last steps taken
down them
led into
the earth.

So the back door stays closed now.

The pilgrims come and go on the sunny south side,
and few notice the north door
there, near the window,
where Christina often sat,
by the open door.
