As always, how grand last year’s end sounded –
like a century’s, a millennium’s!
Number’s arbitrary significance.
Nothing will change, only the detail.
Cats will stalk robins, gardeners chase cats
and the bird will be flown whatever.
Whether in hunger or joy, song or silence,
the same heaven above us, wishful or real,
accept, please, my gift of continuing love.
