excerpt from
OLD WOMEN
by
Barbara Lau
***
Now twined around each other
arm in arm down the sidewalk,
defying the dark grave
with their colors and perfume,
old women
tending time more fragile than youth:
poinsettias in the snow.
That's sweet - the white haired lady looks like my Grandma from behind...
ReplyDeleteI think that someday when we go to the mall, we will look like that. (And that's you holding me up, by the way, because I broke my hip) hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying that I DID break my hip... just so you know... not yet... anyway... enough with the "..." already!
ReplyDeletethat is a great poem, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! Reminds me of my grammy.
