Re-creations 1

Having explored so much
and so little,
I see a video of my life moving
jerkily, a home movie of ages ago,
manipulated by the long seasons of my withdrawal,
the camera off and on.

Before that, long before that,
the metaphor of a pastel perhaps would have given
a painterly touch to my memories,
the colors even when gray
creating an abstract that could please someone.

Ah, I am stiff and sore and pray
for humdrum and purpose.
