afternoon when I'm old and comforted and done with this desire with memory to share my bed and peace to share my fire, I'll comb my hair and scalloped bands beneath my laundered cap on watch. My cool and fragile hands lie light upon my lap and I will have a sprig gown with lace to kiss my throat. I'll draw my curtain to the town on hammer purring note, and I'll forget the way of tears and rock and stir my tea. But oh, I wish those blessed years were further than they be.
