Not done

Before 20 we look ahead
To run long distance
In unsure steps
Toward a finishing line
After 60 a lifetime
Of events
To reflect, embellish, archive
For time is fleet footed
Look behind
There are much to retrieve
Reconstruct
Paint in dull or vivid colours
A narrative imagined
And real
Of boundaries hazed – no matter
To retrace a passage
Leaving behind
What we cherish
Hope and lost
But
We are not done yet
For the next trimester
We can fill the gaps
To complete a story
Incomplete
