on aging


My ethereal, kaleidoscopic self is calling for my 30 year porcelain self to fall into tiny pieces and be swept up into Moses' giant dustpan of other broken idols and golden calves.
I cannot yet let go her firm arm . . . her supple skin, her full breasts, her un-scarred belly, her fertile hips, her wanting womb, her tiny waist, her defined lips, her smooth face, her bright eyes, her graceful steps, her idealized body, her youth.
I am not yet able to mourn her passing.
I will. I will.
It's time.
She's tired.

April 2013 will soon be here. Will an entire so by without a womanly thought, a warrior's musings? This last image is too rough a closing.

Thank you, Kj, for your comment - WOW! What a reality check! I will get right / write on it. I have lots to say - just been absorbed in the process of maturing (you could say I have been aging in my bottle like a fine wine.)
