Identity
I did attend a costumed drawing/painting session last Tuesday. It’s been a while. “JY” was posing as a scarecrow, though he became a farmer or cowboy soon after I started sketching him sitting on a stool with mostly a blank staging behind him.

Yes, and Know
It didn’t take long

Enough time though,

Remember Dancing
Remember dancing over rocky shores.
Crossing over wobbling rocks
back and forth from one side to the other.
Young and fabulous.
The steps now are slow, balanced, tentative.
Calculated uncomfortable motions.
Old and oh so slow.
