Gerald Stern (1925-) knows how to age gracefully. Yes.
Romance
After thirty years
I am still listening to the pipes,
I am still enchanted
with the singing and moaning of the dry boards.
I am lying there night after night
thinking of water.
I am joining palms, or whistling Mozart
and early Yeats.
I am living without savagery,
stretching my body and turning on my left side
for music,
humming to myself and turning on my right side
for words.
live in the layers
