retirement poem

looking beyond
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
i am in love with high far-seeing places
suddenly, out of dark and leafy ways
storm
have you not heard
sweet with fern and rose
a blue-black nubian plucking oranges
for i was a gaunt, grave councillor
love has been sung a thousand ways
white foam flower, red flame flower
her face is fair and smooth and fine
the stars fell from heaven
