The other morning--
I was standing at the bathroom mirror
with the radio playing
and sunlight through the window colored
by things budding, and turning green--
and it struck me, while studying the age of my face,
that I am fated to grow old, old,
(another in a family of keen and ancient women)
and that I will probably outlive you

and for that moment I felt life after you,
alone,
and older than everybody
