Fancy dress and masks
- smiles held on sticks -
life's but a ball
and the convex glass
distorts just slightly
the shadows of late
greying evening through
the double windows. Here
the ultimate silence,
ghosts' minuets and a
too clear perception:
on a dark table
a litter of papers, letters
and a pair of gold specs
face down, abandoned -
small lettering reads
better without them and
only the blackbird
still has something to say.
