PLAGUE THE TAIL

my love is tired

exhausted by its time

running out like salt

from a torn sack


but it is my love

and wherever it goes

it will plague the tail

of some other bird


and those who've shared

this time with me

may they wind up in better shape

than in what I've come to be


tired but as ready as I can be

to be what I am
