alone at the doorstep

 Alone at the doorstep   
to be between the living and the dead
at the bow of the ship
covering an uncertain future
under the coat hooks in the vestibule
mismatched clothes
by forced wandering .

Clap the banner
the knocking time
offers parentheses
in the crepe of our wounds
without appearing
the poppies of childhood
eternal marriage
before the big upheaval .

In the august fissure
waiting for the day
with a heavy step
the old man goes
on the dusty road
memories to come
warm welcome
breaking away from the too well known .

So offered
this blaze of colors
in full armfuls
enchanted aspiration
of our counted steps
on the crunching gravel
of the sweet coming
of your smile .
