Age weaves creases on the face,
starts to remember things, savor and play them
over and over, like choice recordings,
covering the bad memories with good ones,
like a blanket over cold feet,
like moonlight over night shadows.

Life cuts the ribbon tying a gift,
unwraps and exposes it.
One begins to wish for quiet
and a room free of echo,
bury one’s head in dead leaves,
talk to the trees or the rocks,
listen to the cold noise of dead things.
