I am honored, once again, to have one of my poems published in Vita Brevis! Many thanks to Brian Geiger, editor, for finding this piece worthy of gracing his literary publication! 🙂

I find them in the most unusual places
Little pieces of me I must have left behind
I wonder why they stopped where they did
How they settled in the forgotten cracks
Was it on purpose, or was it I no longer cared?
The particles of my life I chose to leave
Not wanting to be remembered for what was
Rather, what is, and what lies ahead
A glance in the mirror shows a different face
I battle the days when age is not a number
But a feeling, of weary bones, and creaky joints

Very nice. Wondering at what age we realized how the bits of us we leave at detritus are still around? Not sure I would have thought about this or even liked your poem so much when I was a teen. Love poems that make me think.
