Subject: [lit-ideas] Limping People
I notice them now,
Though I never used to,
Limping along with
A gait like mine:
The trembling knee,
The steadying cane,
The many I've been ignoring.
I dreamt last night
Of meeting someone,
We were younger then
With nothing minding:
Coffee and conversation.
I went on ahead. We'd
Meet by the way
Some place, my dream
Non-specific. I saw
It last night like an older film
Her gentle looks confounding.
I'll hold the tiller till the
Dream dies away my
Thoughts stay full of longing.
