Here Again

I am here again
at the back table
the back table
I built and oiled
on early mornings
to avoid
the eye sizzling heat of noon.
Here again.
Bemoaning.
Being and moaning -
to myself
to the page
to the world
that my handwriting
like me
deteriorates
before my eyes,
my eyes
deteriorate
before my brain
my brain
deteriorates
within my body
which deteriorates
and on
and on
and on
when a mudlark/ piping shrike/peewee
unaware of deterioration /decay/time
oblivious of my thoughts/ feelings/self pity
careless of the cold east wind setting the scene for autumn
took a bird bath
spun globes of water like planets and suns into the air
made rainbows with the morning
and ruffled feathers blurred the black and white.
