Seventeen degrees to the east

Next to uneven fence posts barely held together by saggy wire, it faces south, tilting seventeen degrees off plumb toward the new day:  a two-layered red hearts beats from the center, while the teddy bear's red hat catches torrid summer wind .  As water tower and town elms guard the horizon, highway 207 continues due north to Silverton.
