Further Conditions of Alzheimer’s

White mass on your brain

And you, brother, far away.

The pain sears my heart.

Angels’ Wings

Falling asleep wrapped

In the warmth of angels’ arms

Knowing we are loved.

Non-Independence Day

Kitchen glass fireworks

Cut the loneliness like shards

In her waiting heart.

Changes

Clearing old friendships,

Like cleaning out the closet,

Makes room for the new.

Wedding RSVP

She can’t come, she said,

And broke her sister’s heart clean

Like a knife on glass.

Roses on the balcony – Friday, 31 May 2013 – Reno, Nevada

White roses, wine glass

Only reflect his dearness.

Dinner with my love.

Orwell Knew It

Sanctifying greed,

Demonizing poverty –

How did we get here?

Blueberry Sunday

Soothes memories long ago

When pain took control.

Gift

Love is waking up

To the smell of hot coffee

Knowing he brewed it.

Worry

Middle of the night

Always interrupts her sleep,

Already fearful.
