newness and perfection
are short lived
life takes
and the flowers give
All Sorts And Conditions
Wooden Teeth
oak molars
chomp
the granite foundation
Last Hurrah
regardless
of the wear and tear
still exuding joy
Like A Tattered Flag
the barn endured
dutifully
despite the wear
More Precious For The Wear
even as life
takes from us
our beauty remains
