against the wall
newspapers
stacks of them
hidden behind
the electric heater
getting ready to work in winter
the flowers from summer
dried and forgotten
a few stripped coats
and a flora lace hat
hung at the edge of a locked store room
the silver door nob inviting
next to the heater
an expired box of noodle （てのべそうめん・手延素麺）
unopened
a bottle of Japanese tea （お茶）
no one drank
boxes with unknown contents
on the wall
a picture of her daughter when she was ten
and a picture of her favourite preacher
who brought her the Good News
and the art work done
by her daughter in the elementary school
a collection of things accumulated
to be discarded
to be kept
a collage of the present and the past
where daily life and memories blend
on the living room wall
this shot was taken on my first visit
