lessening vision

vision in my left eye is getting worse
no longer clear
neither near nor far
how sad 25 nearly half blind
to sense its marked decrease
i'll watch it go year by year
my hair will turn grey though i think i'll keep it long
your eccentric bachelorette aunt
with a seaside home and shelves of junky things
you'll never know what each piece meant to me
upon hearing the news
you'll remark how you should have visited
last spring.
