Old Poem by Leslie Philibert

Old

Rating: 4.3


Old is the small of lavender,
washed faces, the dust brown
of waxed furniture, bouquets

of veined hands that hide pearls
in indian boxes, alongside cameras
that fled across years, heavy-eyed;

then there is you, the way you change,
you are half of these years, not just
the ebb, but a wave never slight.
