I dare not throw away those withered flowers
though almost faded beyond recognition -
In my bare garden fresh ones will not grow;
the soil's infertile and too tough to hoe
and all the world is filled with waiting, hours
In which the minute hand will hardly move -
slow time's sad tune, stuck in the inner groove,
is one long, wordless, whispering repetition.
