Life Diary

The wrinkled face of that old man,
or that old woman
are just pages
of their life diaries,
crumpled fragments
of two itineraries that started
a while back
and lasted a while
and they’re about to come
to an end

Now a celebratory rest
is served in flutes of crystal
with their glass so thin,
so fragile,
that it can break any time
in myriads of shards,
glittery leftovers
of a traveller life’s impressions
whose journal will vanish
in quiet oblivion
once with traveller’s body
