ROBERT FARNSWORTH<br />
of some zeal she’d once loved in me. Almost<br />
as old as I once thought I’d ever be, I’d like<br />
to live quietly now beside this lake the law<br />
forbids me to swim, listen hard to the owlhaunted<br />
darkness of the pines, and in spring<br />
to the creak and drift of this empty stage,<br />
as it melts into bright dishevelments of wind.<br />
