TRACES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tell me
Last Line: To cherish in the heart?


Tell me,
When you visit homes
Luxurious
Or bare,
Entering through portals wide
Or up a narrow stair,
Listening to music
Conjured from the piano keys,
Answering your hosts' polite inquiries,
Tell me, please
Do you leave a trace they wipe
From the parquet floor?
Do your hosts exchange a glance
As you close the door?
Or
Are they glad that you have been
And sad that you depart?
Do you leave a trace unseen
To cherish in the heart?
