Mid Years (Free verse) by Dovina

After the travails of menopause and before the fogginess of senile dementia comes a lingering sourness of melancholy that mixes with sweet hours of friendship to produce the finest moments of life For men, maybe it comes after the keen edge of erectile imperative and before virility's illusion turns into a joke Then it's about relationship as we said it was all along but never believed

We women have monopoly on neither emotion nor floppiness. Have you not seen the old man walking from the pool, his breasts and belly flopping and tears in his eyes over the death of his cat? What we have a monopoly on, except for a few good men, is the admission that emotions are very important to our wellbeing.
