A few thoughts:
There is a house. It has always been there. It will always be there.
The house is full of beautiful and broken things.
There is a car somewhere in the distance. The sound of its motor is the hum of a terrible encroaching future, full of shiny new things. The very words shiny and new send a shiver down your spine.
You will grow up someday. This is a great tragedy.
The trees with their blossoms are like ghosts in the evening.
The trees talk to you.
The house is on fire.
