retirement poem

you are my companion
rising moon has hid the stars
now that i have cooled to you
over the rooftops race the shadows of clouds
i make my shroud, but no one knows
i love my life, but not too well
weak-winged is song
and as we walked the grass was faintly stirred
a life on the ocean wave
my sorrow, when she's here with me
listen to the sounding sea
i am weary of being bitter and weary of being wise
in september
