The prompt was to write on the word “old”
Old
Movements have slowed down
Even thoughts stutter and fail
Anchored in the past
Old shivers in present’s snow
Fumbling losing balance
Each step they walk ahead
While new slides on shiny skates
With an ease and fluent grace
Old hides in dark shadows
Of an inescapable death
