Old Age Is The Season (poem)

Old Age Is The Season

old age is the season
of dying friends

some older, some younger
than I am

and with each death
my own mortality flinches

like the time I dodged
diving black crows

who were pissed about something
as if I'd wandered close

to a nest and endangered
their young

--Charles Deemer
