Last night I dusted off
Old bins
Collections of my past
Went through the years.
Youth wasted on the
Young but knowledge
Still can’t change it.
Even now I feel old,
Worn-down
Exhausted.
I see myself,
Smiling shyly in photos,
Masculine arms draped
Around my neck,
My waist,
Holding on.
Only to let go
In some near future.
