All day, since your haircut in the morning, |
|
you have looked like a painting, even more than usual. |
|
We are in the wind, planting the maples. |
|
We meet an older man who seems to know |
|
I miss my dad. |
|
And he smiles through the limbs. |
|
We talk easily with him |
|
until the rain begins. |
|
This is the brotherhood of man. |
|
Waiting at the airport on my suitcase, |
|
a girl traveling from Spain became my sudden friend, |
|
though I did not learn her name. |
|
And when the subway dimmed |
|
a stranger lit my way. |
|
This is the brotherhood of man. |
|
I never can say what I mean |
|
but you will understand, |
|
coming through clouds on the way. |
|
This is the brotherhood of man. |
