Lament of the long-lived loser
Lament of the long-lived loser

Sweat gathers in wrinkles,
ripples in dark pools under glazed eyes.

What a price for having out-lived myself —
once more.

When will I learn to bloom before dawn,
wither before each noon day's blast.

Better to be a mayfly: fragile and joyful —
than battered, bitter and torn.
