He told me frankly
without mincing words
the faint furrows on my forehead
the forward march of my age
He told me frankly
about the years I have lost
fat layers that are left
silver streaks that grace my hair
Feigning is foreign to him
solicitude a perfect stranger
but he is my only true friend
my mirror ,ever truly reflects.
