Feral Houses

Amazing photos by Jim of houses that are returning to nature along the streets of Detroit. From sweet-juniper.com (via BoingBoing).

Which reminds me of a favorite Carl Sandburg poem from high school:

Grass

Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Shovel them under and let me work—
I am the grass; I cover all.

And pile them high at Gettysburg
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
Shovel them under and let me work.
Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?
Where are we now?

I am the grass.
Let me work.
