into the sunset

i'm done with men, she tells me.
as if closing
a book
with two hands.
i don't need
men anymore.
not for money, for sex,
for fun.
i've had my day
in the sun.
my joy is found in different
places now.
with mostly
women friends,
i knit, i bake,
i sew.
together we take
in movies,
or walks,
long strolls through the parks
talking about
remember when.
without men, i'm happier.
content
as i grow old.
