retirement poem

gone are the three, those sisters rare
when the wind works against us in the dark
i was a goddess ere the marble found me
the hypocritic days
under a spreading chestnut tree
musing, between the sunset and the dark
i am dying
my soul is a dark ploughed field
the sky
who will be naming the wind
last night the full moon laid a cloth of white
fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room
those black eyes i once so praised
