Banked Fires
I shall remember when my days are few
The twilight on a narrow, winding road;
The slender silver moon that days corrode;
The star that lent its loveliness to you.
The arching of a dream across the years —

you can fall for chains of gold.

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep.

You will be dead soon enough” (Ernest Hemingway).
