retirement poem

that year
did you ever see an alligator
he came and took me by the hand
if the red slayer think he slays
perhaps it is no matter that you died
see the tentative
those black eyes i once so praised
have you not heard
with the sunset
when freedom from her mountain height
within this lowly grave a conqueror lies
i have known the silence of the stars and of the sea
