my aging body

skin sagging

        weight of decades
    cellular degradation 

    loose, not tight

round belly
            well fed
    wobbling, swaying
    for the first time

  almost searched
breast lift
            and ozempic
    but didn't
        but i almost did

    till i remembered

    no obituary
        no funeral
ever used the words
    "great tits" &
    "six pack"
to honor the dead.

    we all will be decaying
someday & i'm just half way there.

i won't surgically 

        cut out my wisdom

won't take a pill 

        lose pounds of memories

     earned crone 

    just like my foremothers

 this body is all mine, 

            i made it while 

     i was living a full life.
