Autumn Cold

here's my snowy crown
  time's tinted decrepitude
there's the frost in the courtyard
  autumn's glittery breath
now I'm sick and just watching my wife
  pick cure-alls
then I'm frozen waiting for the maid
  to comb my hair
without the body
  what use fame?
worldly things
  I've put aside
tranquilly
  I delve my heart
determined now
  to learn from Empty Boats!
