She nibbled walnuts

And avocado

Before going  to bed,

Danced with

Old lovers

Still alive in her head,

Played her old

Records, sang

Along to the tunes,

Relived old

Romps in the light

Of full moons,

Looked in the mirror

Saw herself

At nineteen,

From then

Until now

Simply no in between.
