SUNDAY VERSES: ‘Bright House’ (2/15/2026)

By RAHN ADAMS

‘BRIGHT HOUSE,’ acrylic painting by Timberley Adams

The setting sun shone / in the window / of the great room / with the cathedral ceiling.

Every day at dusk / we walked together / past this bright house / on Fairmont Street

HIDING IN BACK, the print for my 2/22 poem

As we headed back / from the beach strand / or the tennis courts / on the island.

From the water tower / to the waterway, / the unmarked pavement / ran south to north,

Letting twilight die / a golden death / in the highest peak / of this vacant second home.
