the day was restless
like that constant nagging
of
days and months
even years
gone.
where?
and why,
no one says out loud
the truth of growing old

forgetfulness or too much to do
is it really stress
or another pin in the onion bush
of layered lies we tell ourselves,
it matters not
today.
we've more years to live
let's drink and spill away the reminders
there
always there,
in the mirrors of our minds

where no one dares to speak out loud
the truth of years as we pass on through
the truth is
older, still ...
