Rambling
My fingers have forgotten
How to hold this pen still,
To pluck at ivory keys, to
Touch you without trembling.
Once, my love, ink never bled,
Notes never choked on jolts, for
Once, these hands never shook,
Nor were stars so blurry.
Now years have limped along to find
Words sprawled across this page,
Empty, no, rambling
Oh, rambling, as I am told
Old men ought to learn
They’ve nothing left to teach.
Yet you, my dear, never scorn,
Though your eyes often wander,
Slip away to a universe
Folded in the evening news,
Drowning in your coffee.
But by and by, holding hands,
Shudders hardly matter.
As in those eyes, I see the stars
Clear as once they were, and
My god, how you shine.
Though damn this aging wit of mine,
My mind has forgotten,
My darling, what’s your name?
