retirement poem

looking beyond
the smell of the rose so false, the thorns so true
shadows lay along broadway
just as my fingers on these keys
star-dust and vaporous light
i have cast the world
under dusky laurel leaf
little park that i pass through
the little pitiful, worn, laughing faces
moonlight deep and tender
i bid them all farewell
a mile behind
my mother twines me roses wet with dew
