40 years married
yet I window shop
too old to escape
Tag: aging
2668
a sea of salt
a little pepper
barber’s floor
2654
covers my screen
I wait for the cat
to turn opaque
2589
she lends me a mask
closest to a kiss
I’ll ever get
2564
sails furled
can’t venture out
a leaky ship
2561
bundle of letters
left on my porch
her son hurries off
2560
bundle of white hair
sleeping and groaning
you were my mother
2556
xmas with auntie
my childhood stutter
re-re-returns
2552
an old derelict
calls out my nickname
from high school days
2549
only old age
comes around my door
no one else visits
2534
birds, frogs, insects
jump at my visions edge
no one else sees them
2533
my aunt’s restroom
bits of ancient bath soaps
empty of scent
2531
old man squints
still needs directions
bowl of oatmeal
2527
children bickering
chickens gossiping
out of coffee again
2523
baby granddaughter
diaper free
grandpa envious
2520
she brings fresh eggs
and ripening plums
not so bad to be sick
2519
at my mother’s
a bowl of hot rice
a single strand
2517
the long absent son
moves back to mother
street of widows cheer
2513
old man chases flies
only he can see
floaters
2507
she spells it out
in delicate needlepoint
old age sucks
