Twisted just like gray lovers under the covers
I will love you until the end
And we will dry up like prunes
The paper stickers on our curves will wrinkle up and fall
Like our worn skin and this is where life begins for us
We're young and smooth just like a pear in a basket, in kitchens
Like neglected fruit we'll lie with memories of lips and teeth and tongues
Munching on a granny apple
I'll be an old maid and you'll be the old man down the block
So how about it, old man?
Together 'till the end?

steps much slower than before
as time creeps up upon my door
trying to sing a happy song
wondering where time went wrong
pulling
by Josh Andrews
In fifty years we will be nothing more than a mass of wrinkled weathered skin and fragile bones
Our memories and stories
I gaze at my bathroom mirror,
And looking back at me,
Are the telltale signs of wrinkles,
And gray hair their company.
My knees
COULD IT BE I’M GETTING OLD
Age is a thing we all must face;
We’ll all grow old some day
unless, of course,
by S Barnard
Growing old
Mirror mirror on the wall
All alone
Discoloured photo albums
Old age home
Dementia
Hearing aid
