Quiet Lull

Rochelle Lynn Holt

Brain knows the age of mortal limbs,
even though body is forgetful:
stretch before fall off step ladder.

Flesh has no memory of push or pull
until sharp pain in bruised knees reminds her
that bright lights flicker before dim.

When we are young, nothing seems to deter
fast racing cars with polished rims
until sudden sandstorm makes wheels dull.

Even desert denies all whims;
in garage, no one hears woman whimper.
After tears there is quiet lull.

Instantly, she thinks of her poor mother:
once, a resilient ship, now just hull.
Are daughter’s bones also weak stems?

Maybe old grads should return to school
to learn value of chanting hymns
as vicissitude impulses incur.

Brain knows the age of mortal limbs,
even though body is forgetful:
stretch before fall off step ladder.
