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.

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.

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.
