I know this
because we share the same dob
date of beginning
and he becomes seventy and five
before I do
no matter how many moons we see
he will celebrate
before I do
——————————————————-
for both of us
it may be said
we have reached this age
“despite our best efforts”
now we are at
three quarters of a century
looking forward
to the next quarter

We both remain writing
We both remain questing and questioning
we both remain raging then resting
We both remain looking to the future
We both remain
before I do
no matter how many moons we see
he will celebrate
before I do
