The screen door was standing in its place<\/span><\/p>\n

Right there between the inside and out<\/span><\/p>\n

Transparent for the most part<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Standing in the kitchen<\/span><\/p>\n

I could only see a portion of the porch<\/span><\/p>\n

But also the wide expanse of the yard<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There was an occasional breeze blowing through the screen<\/span><\/p>\n

Making its way to the windows<\/span><\/p>\n

Banking the far wall<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The stillness when it was absent<\/span><\/p>\n

From flies and biting pest<\/span><\/p>\n

Who were waiting for prey in the dusk of evening<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But I longed to breathe fresh air<\/span><\/p>\n

So I swung it on its hinges<\/span><\/p>\n

Letting it bang<\/span><\/p>\n
