She rocked
Heel to toe
In steady rhythm
Glazed eyes
Looking backwards
Into a forgotten time
When all the rhythms
Were comforting

Heel to toe
Forwards and back
Never present
Never still
Afraid to stop
For fear of
Death’s
Catching
Up to
Her
Heels

Seems you've been inspired by a particular thought/experience recently, Ron...  Keeping true to your "formula":  powerful description + poignant thought - too many words = Cpat Hair.

This poem is so familiar...I've been there, done that....yet I would never have found the words to describe it as you have.  

Beautiful Ron...

This one makes me want to run and hide.  
Very mysterious and lurking.
