William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)

Old age is

a flight of small

cheeping birds

skimming

bare trees

above a snow glaze1.

Gaining and failing

they are buffeted2

by a dark wind ——

But what?

On harsh weedstalks

the flock has rested ——

the snow

is covered with broken

seed husks

and the wind tempered

with a shrill3

piping of plenty.
