retirement poem

still thirteen years
which keeps
i see all human wits
sun and wind and beat of sea
she knows a cheap release
now that i have cooled to you
my mother taught me that every night
up and down he goes
risen from the dead
i know not where
this is the ship of pearl
i bid them all farewell
he's gone
in their ragged regimentals
