At the library
Is a woman
About fifty

Or more
I see her
Occasionally
Borrowing
Returning
A book

Her looks
When
I see her
There
Are still
Residually
Beautiful

And now
Suddenly
I want
To sleep
With her

Not
Because
She’s
The one
I’ve been
Waiting for

Because
She is slender
Has thoughtful eyes

Long
Though
Dyed hair

Because her face
In certain light
Remembers us
After all

And finally
Because
After all

There isn’t
At last
For either of us

That much
Time left

I like this, and how you led up to this~

And finally
Because
After all

There isn’t
At last
For either of us

That much
Time left

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So much to ponder, and so much between the lines~
