Old woman

“How long have you been standing there?” I wondered as I caught the eye of the crumpled old lady. She had deep channels of time, etched in to a wizened surface.I saw an old lady wearing a rich indigo velvet ancient cape folded carefully to frame the face. I stared into the Keen eyes, of an old lady’s eye’s with alight and mischievous youth.when I saw the old lady wearing a rich indigo velvet ancient cape she had cracked lips furling around gums where teeth once stood.
