1913 – 1984
A contagious smile frames your life –
an engaging habit,
like a jockey in the winner’s circle.
The dark green & brown
reveals this to my soul –
a constant memoire always looking back.
A white porcelain tub and wooden checkers,
simple things for a simple man,
like the train that put you
on the road.
How can this cold, heartless
frozen ground be your last post?
