Default Fifty-Something

I felt my knee grinding
The sound like gravel underfoot
A low growl and grumble
Unsympathetic and harsh
Bare bone on bone

My arms and hands sport light brown spots
Like a blighted foliage
A painless, tell-tale reminder
That my autumn has arrived
Summer has gone

The short, cropped hair
Now a silver-streaked brown
My vanity like the cottonwood tree
Displaying the silver underside
Of her green leaves

When I look at my reflection
I recognize that
My bloom is fading
I've ripened, but not fallen
I've some time still
