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.
