SPRING
O my grey hairs!
You are truly white as plum blossoms.
LINES
Leaves are greygreen,
the glass broken, bright green.
from Sour Grapes, 1921
there is a beauty to ageing, there is a crack to glass; which cannot be appreciated until one has shifted at right angles to the time it takes or the import it hasn’t
