love at ninety

they find each other
in the dim
light
of late afternoon.
to bed early now,
and early
to rise.
they linger in each other's
arms
before casting off
the day
into sleep.
they dream in vague
memories
of being young again.
she talks
in the morning, 
incessantly,
he pretends
to listen
as the cold floor
meets
his feet.
