Signs Bloom in Autumn
by Maria Elena B. Mahler
Against glass
front stores display signs
signs for help
wanted.
One by one they disappear
with cold hands
shelves grow empty
like the branches on trees
and front lawns
holding signs
for rent
short sale
foreclosure
bank owned.
On corners now
they stand
on two feet
the same signs
eyes bulging
wanting help.
