birthday greeting
Birthday Greeting
The darkness gives way for light, joins
Up quickly behind me, I drive home,
When morning breaks I’ll be seventy.
I think of a black, shiny coffin; silver
Handles and flowers too, my grief is
Immense nothing much to celebrate
I sail close to shore carful now under-
Water reefs, seek shelter from old age
While contemplating my sunset.
