The poetic city: “All That’s Left”

Shotguns have a large spray

“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.
