Stick 166 - My Beautiful Older Body


My Beautiful Older Body

Mirror Passage
Blind Date with the me-her
Really stopping, really staring

Bark shadows next to wringle sunbeams
testimony to dusk-dawns lived and lingered
Really stopping, really stilling

Hands trace the familiar lines of the me-her face
years gone by flash through blue eye finger strips
Really stopping, really surrendering

Loving arms hang by my side  and I smile at me-her
a certain knowing, a certain long shadow solitude
Really stopping, really simply loving
