An Old Man Walks With A Long Resume? Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Melting Snow
Life flows............................!
Still the patchy lungs
absorb the bitter air?
I think of dainty flowers
and last year's butterflies.
I look into the sky
clouds float to Heaven
on dapple grey horses
and I look down
an old man walks
with a long resume
some vacancies
in a faraway graveyard?

to the poet Edgar Lee Masters for his 'Spoon River Anthology'.
