_Senility_

It’s not just writing names on walls
 For everything passes out of sight into night-
space The hollow-breath; a whistle only Into feverish times Melts like printed letters
on an empty page.

Incidents are but dents in memory
 Pushing into moments of fluid stretch Along coastal
shores at night When age sits and broods at cross roads; When expected night-shrieks
of birds Wake up the putrid scent of flesh Borne along waste of city lights in gathering
dusk The rolling tin cans discarded on dusty side-walks Whisper what remains of 
cluttered words Dropped ages ago or retracing footsteps Fading into chaos in front;
and the rest – Just an empty space.
