13,225. I HAVE KEPT

I HAVE KEPT
Fitzgerald and pansies and tall
grass. I have kept my end of the
bargain for sure, but the other side
has long ago drooped and fallen.
There are no longer any answers
even to the echoes. I hear nothing.
-
There a semblance of disorder now
rolling through the hills : far cries
from dainty flies; girls hidden on
the backs of playing cards. Not for
the moment, and non for the nonce.
-
Savage the beating where the old
accolades rage  -  those people have
died long before birth. I have kept
promises, I have done all my deeds.
