Writings

My texture is changing
The elastic form
sags in sundry places
Brown spots appear
overnight and stay
Silver glints more often
in light brown hair
and the steady march
develops a slight plod
Inside this changing form
space expands
Swirls around molecules
allows recognition of other dreams
other ways of being
