The Way You Waned
So round and full were you,
a beaming smile
upon your face,
the kind to wine and dine
and cast your light
around a room;
your gravity pulled me,
a tide so high
I lost myself
until you grew thinner,
then thinner still,
a mere razor
I could no longer hold
lest it leave a scar.
Middle-Age Monotony
creaking like an un-greased porch swing,
each bone protesting forward movements,
too stiff
too sore
one foot in front of the other,
one hand caressing an aching hip;
why do bodies give up so easily
when the heart is still throwing confetti
like it’s New Year’s Eve?
