Hi Jim,
As you might have expected, I'd suggest adding more. There just isn't enough to grapple with here to get a sense of the character or the reason for writing the poem. I think loads more detail is needed. This could be an interesting character, but I have no idea from what you've presented here. It's just too sparse. What was the sense you wanted to create here - a person who is simply living out his (last) days passively?
I hope this feedback helps in some way.
