Brian, this poems evoked some thoughts I've been mulling on aging of late. Thank you for this lovely piece that spoke to my longings.

"Time is not the enemy, she declares"

"Age is timeless."

"To travel through time

and follow a path..."

This is a lovely poem, so evocative. I got to it through your essay about it and your project Garden Poems. I look forward to more of them.

And of course my favourite line is this:

oh, haha, I *had* read this before! For some reason I thought I hadn't. Well, I just picked the same line as my favourite a second time, so I shall leave my comment here and not delete it. ;)

Ha! If it caught your eye twice, I promise not to edit the line in a future version 🙃

As will all your poems, this is a beautiful meditation.

"and read the canyons in her trunks."
