The Ravages Of Time Poem by Sheena Blackhall

The Ravages Of Time



I have become a footnote, an aside in a margin
An anachronism, an irrelevance, an outer planet
I witter, drooling words
Like a baby dribbles pee into a nappy
All part of the ravages of age,
Collateral damage of advancing years

‘Talk to me, ' says the page.
‘When have I not listened? '
And once again I commune with my oldest friend
It never judges, is always available
The one true certainty in a creaky compass
