Time opens its arms for me and I sink in

She told me that being an elder felt like an extended sunset.  It was warm and soft
and slow.  You know that the curtain is drawing down, that shapes are flattening,
and there is space for you.  You soften for it.  You brighten and eat moths and
listen to bat wings.
