Click hereAll the warm summer
the day's slow decay
was hardly noticed -
pushed away - not seen
on purpose, maybe, though
I can't remeber. No
clear picture stays of how
the issues lost
their flexibility and
we were all amazed
to find the sun declining.
After dark, deception was
kept up with smoke and wine
and there were candles and
their light was in my eyes
and it took long before
all vigour slipped
into slow memories:
'It's so long ago that I
still hoped -' but
what exactly, or
just why, remains
unspoken. Even in
old age some things
are energetically
private; some things
have always been far
too painful to share.
