footprint poem

eighty years have passed, and more
last midnight
and so it goes
green afternoon serene and bright
in their ragged regimentals
glooms of the live-oaks
they in the darkness gather and ask
the child who threw away leaf after leaf
my mother twines me roses wet with dew
in the dark and peace of my final bed
the swan existing
