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.
