retirement poem

this is the ship of pearl
beautiful, tragical faces
i have seen the proudest stars
candles toppling sideways in tomato cans
in mournful numbers
simplicity
lo! 'tis a gala night
beneath my window in a city street
from floor to ceiling
glass-blower of time
with joy and wonder
suddenly, out of dark and leafy ways
there is a country full of wine
