grandmother poem

since i have felt the sense of death
night is dark, and the winter winds
i have known the silence of the stars and of the sea
world that changes under my hand
it was many and many a year ago
i despise my friends more than you
when a deed is done for freedom
my son is dead and i am going blind
if i were very sure
i burn no incense
of sun nor stars
we were not many
i love my hour of wind and light
