there are some women

for whom age
                 has become
beauty

living east of town

living east of town
   the sun is always behind me

i go to work in the morning
   the sun is behind me

i return in the evening
  the sun behind me

nearly everywhere i go
   sun behind me

but sometimes

i travel east
   in the morning to greet the sun

or west in the evening
   i linger


        just to say so long
