A History Through Chimneys

A History Through Chimneys
poem by Kaye Baillie , illustrated by Gabriel Evans
Four brick chimneys stand rooted to the ground like ancient trees. Pillars of red bricks and yesterday’s paint, blackened by years of use mark the spot in this barren lot where a house once stood. Birds are the only visitors now, perched high on the sooty squares watching the wind ruffled grass dance at the base of the chimneys and feeling the ghosts of who knows who once lived there. Who was it that once gathered in the lounge on the rug sharing stories while someone knitted in the old rocking chair warmed by the rollicking orange flames? Did children scurry off to bed where another fire cosied them to slip out of day clothes and into nightdresses? When little sleepy eyes finally closed did parents retreat to their warm chamber to rest up before another day? Who filled the early morning air with the smell of hot bread and the comfort of good things to eat splashing hot water into mugs of cocoa while little backs warmed by the old black stove? Then did someone leave the warm house huddled inside a coat taking the path to the old truck in the shed to rumble out into another day? And who came home each night following wafting curling white whispers from the chimneys that promised food and warmth and best of all promised that someone was home?
