Hints of Pale Lemon
the light pouring in my window
has hints of pale lemon
as they might say on the back
of a wine bottle
well, yes, it is the best of wines
so I sit in my chair drinking it in
but find I have some questions
for body – I thought we were
in this together jogging side by side
through the years, but here you are
about to turn 89 leaving me far behind
somewhere in my 50’s, maybe 40’s even
why are you hurrying? pause for a few years
let me catch up then we’ll get
a couple of walkers and push
on together to wherever we’re going
