retirement poem

and so it goes
which i wish to remark
though i am little as all little things
how like the stars are these white, nameless faces
do not grieve that it is over
in the dark and peace of my final bed
and breaketh bread no more
why are the things that have no death
tell me not
now for a brisk and cheerful fight
i reside at table mountain
over the river, on the hill
