Discussing Age at Sunset with a Saguaro
Discussing Age at Sunset with a Saguaro
I learn, the saguaro stands still,
singular and self-contained
for up to 90 years
before growing an arm.
I mention, that
I’ve often felt like a puppet,
too many arms tangling
in things I don’t really care about.
Sun setting.
Tucking my arms in.
Still standing.
