Dotage

by K. Alma Peterson

Is there a hermitage
built for one     a cottage
near the swoosh of foliage
moan of pines
splash of plumage
a tiny house to manage
(no marriage)
rummage through without
damage    set back
from a gravel passage
lightly traveled
where I can leverage
vestiges of my physical
personage before
slippage into dotage: message me
