Simple joys...frail years

by Peter Menkin

Old age is 90--
her eyesight dimming,
we visit the ducks
with ducklings and she
shows the sharpened insight
of age, looking towards
practical things like
feeding them.

That will make them come
see us. They will visit.
Simple joys.

Motion
in the water's stream.

The young lives of the birds is refreshing, a drink of coolness in Spring.

We two are learning
friendship, company
and humankind's frail
years are visited upon
us.
