Midlife

And midlife walks you into that wisdom
that this is what transformation looks like - -
the mess of it, the tapping at the
walls of your life,
the yearning and writhing and pushing,
until one day, one day
you emerge from the wreck
embracing both the immense dawn
and the dusk of the body,
glistening, beautiful
just as you are.
