Aged Mavens
Steel blue eyes matching hair
concentrating hanging on every word
Wrinkles form around the perimeter
Guarded, buttressed full natural lips
Intently hanging on every word
Kicked by unaware intruder
Mindlessly stumbles over a misplaced foot
focus back to ancients
Partners hair white as untouched snow
at daylight
Oblivious to the world
They chat, express entwine
Lands lending to the intensity
of their conversation
Bent elbow on sunlit sill
show slits of silver of her eyes
locked in on orator slight
response reflective repose …
Animated expressions
move this speech
Steely eyes locked in
rock back now broad smile.
Lunch is over …
