Dust on the Wings of Angels

Whenever we think of things

like the dust on angels’ wings

don’t forget to remember

old age is like December.

It is the end of a year.

Old age implies death is near.

Never ask how old we are

or the distance to a star.

We shouldn’t be measuring

what shouldn’t be happening.

For, what we anticipate

will be here, sooner or late.

Don’t worry–or give a damn.

It’s November where i am.
