Older Than I Am Poem by Zyw Zywa
Older Than I Am
I do know it is me
that woman I don't know
that friendly but strange
face, which is also on photos
with a wide mouth, with folds
crow's feet and high temples
that do not match, not with me
not with my hands, that eagerly
touch life
Only the eyes of others
are used to the mask
that I cannot take off
Even my own sister
is not surprised, she knows me
older than I am
