Grandma's House


a life lived.

not to live.  not living.  lived.

flirtations passed, lovers dead, hopes and dreams and plans achieved or let go.

the immediacy of passion and opinions tempered by time;  experience revealing an hour's inadequacy, a day's inconsequence, a week's insignificance.  seeing a lifetime of insignificances add up to a sum total of your worth.

memories fading, leaving holes without explanation.

but age has failed to  mature the beauty of a foggy morning from you.  scarlet-streaked sunsets must still stir the romantic in you.

to what end?

the end.
