Antique white crown,

furrowed brow,

trying to recall names,

stars and shades of

black and gray fading,

a cavernous dark tunnel,

where memories disappear,

unretrieved like racing years,

crossing finality,

nightfall of the mind,

Author Notes
I write of the joys and frustrations
of aging. I'm 65, and remembering
some things is a challenge. ~
