thru the ancient window
a fine spun blower's window pane
above the carrion winter courtyard
where my angels have gathered
...

standing on the edge of the harbor
waiting for the ship
coming into sight
...
my hands once strong and agile
lie quietly in my lap
soft and fragile
where I once had hair
...
