once you wake-up and realize
that you’ve lived already more
years than your grandparents
your father/uncles/most members
of your family
but not yet as long as your mother
you’ll challenge ‘fate’ in the peace
and quiet of your work
your mind still works reasonably
well indeed
but you wouldn’t question your
life expectancy by numbers
but for the quality of staying alert
thru’ mental exercises
to follow suit to daily walks
remember –
indeed all the prep-work from your
crazy-active time
will be revived
with a new love interest –
perhaps not noticed until now –
propelling you forward
in terms of your creative output
as an artist
with an innate desire to better
yourself
to become fully rounded in the
two arts you pursue at present
just like a total woman
desired for mutual fulfilment
in eros
called a ‘rounded woman’.

There are many talented, his friend used to say, but only a few are selected.
