The Signature of Life

Signature of life = The signature of sun can be seen on those fleets of clouds, soft, floating. The faded ochre dress flutters like an ancient race’s posted flag, proud amid the breeze, assuring. It is assuring to see that dress in the ruin of a residence, from which someone has washed and hung cloths. He climbs the staircase, rickety with careless bites of age, to his home. Another broken piece of the day is falling away with whims of wind. Once he goes inside the old building, the house belches with satisfaction. =© 2009 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar
