nine decades in

even at this age,
wisdom escapes him. forgiveness
still
is elusive.
grudges are held.
even now,
nine decades into this life,
he's still
alone with himself
needing pleasure,
needing to be held.
but giving little in return.
this ship will never
turn around,
just sink
and lie there on some
dark
ocean shelf.
