“Time is the thing that counts the ticks”
I should like to live
Long enough I can savor
Someplace it feels exciting
To see winter coming in
And the days getting shorter,
A comfortable grand hotel
Perhaps, in a wing
With a balcony
Looking south over thick woods
(Or north, if Tasmania)
That concentrate the sinking
Autumn light to a blurred point
Made blurrier by first snows,
All frozen water-clocks stopped.
