happy birthday poem

the light withdrawn
there was a time in former years
master of human destinies am i
what shall we do now
full of tears
i went up and down the streets
when the veil from the eyes is lifted
in his guarded tent
candles toppling sideways in tomato cans
and with the humming bird
eighty years have passed, and more
why are the things that have no death
i do not pray for peace
