family poem

since, if you stood by my side today
the mountains they are silent folk
they ask me where i've been
weak-winged is song
i said
old wine to drink
we break the glass whose sacred wine
it was many and many a year ago
the smell of the rose so false, the thorns so true
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
