When Buildings Fall

old winter winds hollered and sobbed
seeking warm shelter amongst wooden ribs,
in a northerly cold, splintering joints throbbed
like cowering bulbs grown weary of spring fibs

Windfall, Alberta

There stands a forget me not town
with homes now houses fallen down,
a sign post and a tower tall
but there's nobody left in Windfall.

According to Wikipedia, Windfall Alberta once boasted a healthy population of 101 residents in the early 60's, however the draw of nearby Whitecourt soon left the small town empty. Family homes and cottages were trucked out to new lots in Fox Creek. Although the signs for Windfall still remain along Hwy 43 the only sign of life is a gas plant now operated by Husky Oil.

Studebaker

When the wheels on that Studebaker stopped turning

we knew there would be no more returning,

- no more day dreaming,  no more back seat scheming.
