pace.
along the path
on our walk
by the river
these tin soldiers
lie napping
in the sun
as they
await their moment
to fly once more.

spin cycle.
*news about the cycle of life
saparmurat niyazov, president of turkmenistan, made a decree that divides life into 12-year cycles.
the decree says that childhood lasts until age 12, adolescence to 25, and youthfulness until 37.
the next 12-year cycles are divided into periods labeled – mature, prophetic, inspirational and wise.
old age begins at age 85.
hit 97 and enter a period named for oguzkhan, considered the founder of the turkmen nation, who died at 109.
* this cycle only applies to people in turkmenistan.
(apparently the rest of us are on our own to spin through life’s cycles as best we can.)
