& the hideaway of looking older
is skin slackened wrinkle
& the fear is near to the outcome.

I’ve got crinkle hands
with death skin & the secret
in eyes is the cloudy size
of a slow beat beat heart.

You are given to hyperbole
when the arc of your belly
reveals the last meal & the stuck feel
of seconds underneath.

Scar over your left eye
tells people walking by
that you fight for everything why
with worker hands.

It is a sovereign aging that
leaves you wanting
what you told them you have
had enough of.

On December 16, 2009, I read at Velvet Guerilla Cabaret, Michael Slobotzky’s reading at Unurban Coffeehouse in Santa Monica, CA. I read four pieces: “I wonder how Baltimore is…”, “Davi come on!…”, “The hate in the mirror is bait…” and “Broken arm summer…” Please visit www.adambresson.org for more poetry and writing. Hope you enjoy!
