retirement poem

it was the autumn of the year
have we no shame?
up from the south at break of day
all within and all without me
so fallen
good woman
three years ago today
a thousand silent years ago
no prey am i of poor thoughts
so lost
i said
like him whose spirit in the blaze of noon
her face is fair and smooth and fine
