Head of an Old Woman

Transparent, translucent, opaque This is how my life has gone, a blur Of unknowing, dumb luck, mistakes

I never had a say, my narrow path cut For me at birth and still, above me only Pure, clean, space illuminates my eyes

Softens the planes of my face. What You see: Girl. Woman. Old woman Inside, without the mirror of your eyes

I stayed the same, only the frame Changed. I used to be a family, but the Men are gone. No more suckling, no

Huddling in winter’s depths around a fire Sewing, darning, murmuring stories into Each others’ tired ears, gone the days

Of labor and of love. Now I sit, waiting To be captured by this artist who thinks He knows my name, but I am hiding

In stark folds of linen at my neck, in Scalding tea, a lover’s tender skin, slick Blood of stillbirth, simple gesture a

Hand makes. From joy to rage, despair Etched into places he cannot see, into Things I have not done—read a book

Traveled to another city, birthed Another woman, had my say Arc of my life flattened across time

And space. Kitchen to bedroom Hearth to field, father to husband Husband to grace. Alone as dark looms

Light comes, transparent, translucent Opaque. The little death sleep makes No matter. All falls away with age © 2014 Karen Holden
