 Waking To Aging: a Fold poem

Some mornings when bones relate age to skin,

Poise just wants to relax and bend forward;

Reality and surreal veils become thin,

Body pains storing aging records;

Sky of morning relate age to skin,

With its grey clumps of sunless clouds;

Some games you lose and some you win,

That's the way of setting and risings sun;

A heartshaped cloud! a sure win,

Can seep through aches of rising to, 

Another day when bones relate age to skin.

  1. That is a very relatable fold poem, Gillena! I know those ‘mornings when bones relate age to skin’ and ‘reality and surreal veils become thin’. I had a hearing test today and will be having hearing aids fitted in the next couple of weeks. It shocked me, but now I’ve read your poem, I realise that ‘that's the way of setting and rising sun’. I just need a heart-shaped cloud.

  10. Yes, I hadn't thought of them this way, but health symptoms are signs for sure. And he doctors are fairly good at figuring them out.
