I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun, l effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags. I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles. What is one purpose of the personification in this poem?

Writers and poets use personification to bring inanimate things to life, so that their nature and actions are understood in a better way. Because it is easier for us to relate to something that is human or that possesses human traits.

Hope this helps :)

To portray a force of nature as something that runs from humans.
