LONG ENOUGH

I've lived long enough to know it is futile

to talk or argue or commiserate or disdain anyone


each of us occupies a blighted spot

where our souls once thought a garden would grow


now the winter of our lives is upon us

and we rake the last leaves


and gather the last fallen twigs

and sink to freedom from our futility
