"(At a Certain Age, Questions Found Me)" by Karen Neuberg
Poetry
(At a Certain Age, Questions Found Me)
Is longing to blame for my life of catalyst
and cataclysm, and who am I
with this wavering shadow of myself
entrusted to locate engaging pathways
where I create anew; or am I too much
a deer caught in self-reflection, and am I
still who I was as I am now
stumbling along, but trying, trying?
