She

SHE
I turn around and there you are
Wonderfully old
Hands furrowed with deep blue veins like little rivers
Skin as dry and parched as peeling Red Gum bark after an intense summer
The creams applied faithfully over so many years hasnβt worked
Small pebbly eyes still shine. A shrine to youth. Time gone by.
Β Drooping lids once anchored them like diamonds in an exquisite piece of jewellery.
Jowls well developed, the mask of beauty slipping. Sliding. Β Icing down a cake.
Youβve arrived much too soon
I wasnβt expecting you yet,
My voice screams but my lips are shut
The woman in the mirror does not reply
