She reminded me
of women,
I used to see as a child,
at family gatherings.
Tired, not quite steady,
ageing yet fertile in the mind.
Her skins thickness worn,
like an old tyre,
the pressure too much.
Yet,
she still mesmerises,
Like a gambler,
Who never loses.
A generation older,
We were lost and found.
But eventually,
someone had to escape.
