[hometext] => On the advancing years
[bodytext] => This foggy spyglass- restrictive and cataract'ed of age, small, large-impersonal, personal- always from a vantage- close, but never near- Over there, but never here. Lips move and words issue- strange bumbling jumbo to my unattenuated attention. How heavy after so many years, lugging this brass & glass tube in my mind- ever at the ready to move to the long view. Velvet brass eyepiece, steady of decades, laid at last to rest- indeed, loneliness is heavier but the past has kept me so removed... LO! My focus is cloudy still, cataract'ed yet, kill so, my eye has been lent to long gleanings from a perspective no longer sought- now paid for, seen and bought.
