PASSAGE

Rubbing Chamomile Rose
on aging skin
to feel real,
normal,
despite a small white cap
clutching baldness.

Victoria Secret nightgowns
will be tucked away
in memories.
"Still Me" garments
lie in drawers
like ladies in waiting.

But night's luminous lantern
will always slide by
my bedroom window,
shape-shifting
every few evenings,
and I,
soon to be
a perpetual waning moon,
will still shine.
