The poetic city: “All That’s Left”

“All That’s Left”
The walls of this house
may slowly come apart with age,
but their fissures let the sun
shine through…
And the floors that slope
this way and that make us
aware of all we’ve been through.
What’s left after time and age
have taken their toll
is the essential beauty of
all that remains true.
