Hopper sunlight soaking

Hopper sunlight soaking

Brevity befriends me

Window frames on doorways

White sheets shifting slowly

Empty playgrounds starting 

To gather active thoughts

Trying to leave traces

Greater lasting than naughts

That was my majesty

That was my majesty

And was left to pauper

Old soul in worn out shoes

Than faddish or proper 

The childhood robberies

I’m too old to rattle

Separation not wake

Abandon the battle
