Broken Prose Fragments

 

Dementia

how I hate you more and more

cruel

It is to make people, gaps of time, life events, and relationships

disappear then reappear

in such an odd order 

yesteryear

reappears as if but five minutes ago

while yesterday is gone

as if it never happened

I’m

relegated

to a spot on the sideline

all

that can be offered

…is an ear

…silent sympathy

…and generosity

 

a middle man

between

yourself and the neurologist

 

I

can heal

neither the scarring or lesions

of the brain

nor

the physical damage done

from

multiple sclerosis

 

in the end

 it seems that our roles

have been

reversed

the children becoming

both

the caretakers

and

the caregivers

 

My Mother’s 25+ year fight continues on…

Poetic Fragments

This lifetime is indeed a strange thing

 

a

 meandering

line

 

meeting

all points

between

 

here, there

everywhere

anywhere

 

but nowhere

was not

an option

Shattered Lens

 

 

wraiths

              of

                               memories

immolation

                  of

                       self

a

                    repetitive

                                        curse

a

               familiar

                                    malady

a

               warped

                                   rhythm

expecting

                    knowing

                                      waiting

to

              forever

                                writhe

                                               in

                                                              mental

                                                                                    anguish

unable

              to

                           forgive

                                               oneself

unable

                to

                             forget

                                             past

unable

            to

                             transcend

one’s

              own

                              chains

                                              one’s

                                                            own

                                                                              bondage

Poetic Fragments

 

 

Steps

up to a hill

where the bright sunshine

has me dreaming of countless Tomorrows

 

Warm

breeze blows easily

suggesting much more May

on this mid march late morning

 

Bird

songs in the air, flow easily

from the bare treetops surrounding

this quiet park

 

Benches

in the nakedness of shade

awaiting people and conversations

talking of days to come

 

Promise

of things to come

of rebirth, and of renewal

overwhelmed in this day

 

Mirth

albeit, perhaps only a temporary serenity 

…helping to forget the gray days of winter

….we’ll think of the days to come

 

of promise

of promises

Poetic Fragments

 

Of

old shoes

torn sweaters

faded t-shirts

and

familiar

hats

 

where

the next mile?
