jette, i'm trying to figure out how one sits upside down, but i get what you're saying here—and smile. yes, there are all kinds of attractiveness—not just that of youth. for somewhat similarly-themed pieces, you might check out my poems my sixty-eight-year-old self looks in the mirror and aging as ascent. glen

what a delicious surprise to realize that wellspring of desire is ageless. ((laughing)) Who knew? Enjoyed with a smile. Thanks.

Indeed, every stage is fresh. Having gained broad experience we can superimpose many perspectives...Self-image takes on the feel of a CAPRICCIO.

The flavor of desire need only be uncorked and poured with a heavy hand. Drink it all in. A tremendous write!

lumps of loose flesh cascading like rippling waves on a windy lake. Brilliant expression is done in this poem really.

It is interesting this observation on ageing the metaphors of wine and barrels of oak though used many time here appear fresh and the tho e poem explores the sensations that we of a certain age feel Great poem on ageing like thanks. 10++

I was right that this is a confrontation with aging, as your TOPIC(S) note indicates. It's a sensitive subject but your treatment is whimsical on the surface and I suspect serious within your MIND (It is in mine) . Poles of time are opposed to each other: future - cascading on a lake; present - firecracker and wine, both potentially explosive to one's self image. But the imagery of the closing stanza suggests you are OK with this aging.
