Aging

Lorenz

Aging is already leaving .

Toward a serious blues 

or a rainy  grey .

The face is hollowed out 

like waterless  earth .

One day follows another 

and the nights no longer sleep .

Aging is just contemplating ,

pray to household  deities 

and breath in the seasons

of the tea pot  wisely tucked away

between  Ceylon and Darjeeling ...

 Aging british is very distinguished !

Aging is dozing in front of the tv

and fly to the moon with a joyful trumpeter...

Aging is boarding  the Titanic ,

get dizzly on the violin of a last waltz

and pluck a star for a lovely white lady ...

          I like these images and the subtle humor with which you play around the theme of aging. Great!

            Aging is a wreck...
