aging
Published by Broad! Magainze
her naked body
hunched over, drying
her legs with a pale,
pink towel
her wiry hair dripping
pool water onto the dark tiles
of the Daniel Meyer pool
changing-room floor
her skin, thin, sags and collects
under her breasts
around her hips
and above her knees
this must be what
it looks like to carry
the weight of the world
for a lifetime
