On the Eve of Another Birthday

Tick tock: slow clock speeding ever up.
The things I’m needing dwindle daily.
Time doesn’t fail me. But I fail time.
Rhyme tries its damned best, gets tired, retires.

Someday these days will suddenly end.
I tend the garden of this black thought.
Late at night I plow this fertile plot.
How these dark blooms wither on the vines!
