And so, it is time
for the molting -
a cleansing ritual.
In comes tomorrow
and without warning
it is now.
Your picture after three decades still sits, undusted.
What do remnants do but hang around?
It is, after all, a measure.
Two theater stubs in the junk drawer,
A bag of clothes, unfit, out of time,
old photos on their way to be sorted,
a newspaper recipe - never made it to the table
and your picture after three decades
barely visible, still sits undusted.
Jo Stewart: “Retirement has been an opportunity to have the time to read great books, to share with contemporaries and to write poems when the muse visits."
