barnfall, part two

Over the past few weeks, a crew has been dismantling (and trucking off for expensive homes in Montana) the long-crumbling barn (built circa 1858) at my grandfather’s house. Today was my first time seeing the results in person: a strange, disorienting view sans the red monument that had been a constant presence every time I visited for the last 41 years. I absconded with souvenirs - will explore more later.

Cleanup crew should arrive in a couple weeks and it will be like it never existed.
