There used to be a shape
to all this
that easily held together
without undergarments

the shape continues to collapse
morphing into something else
an old burlap bag
half full of hay
bunching in odd places

driving alone
the old breast
half cut away
spills down beneath
my shoulder harness

Oh, I imagine there will be plenty here that want to hear, Rosemary. I know it is difficult. Think life. Smell of flowers. A smile from someone you love, or just like. A sudden rain shower and how it changes the smells around you.

Those that can relate understand.
The gift of life is sill always there to bring pleasures from all angles.
Very realistic write!

Thank you!  It's just a bit of reality.  I wondered if anyone could relate.

I think many of us can relate. I've learned to hate mirrors, for even for the healthy, aging isn't a kind process. *S*

It's good to see you back on the blue pages, Rosemary!
