retirement poem

i think it just splendid
the little white prayers
rose and amber was the sunset on the river
lo! 'tis a gala night
i gazed upon the glorious sky
out of me unworthy and unknown
backward, turn backward
i've won the race
i burn no incense
a poet, having taken the bridle off his tongue
the darkness rolls upward
