Betrayal

Underneath the smiles

Lies a heart blown by weather.

She thought you a friend.

Peter, Paul and Mary

With my heart breaking,

You visit me this evening

Tenderly again.

Afternoon Visit

Skin thin as paper

Folded on my mother’s arm.

My heart breaks with love.

My mother's arm. Fairfax Nursing Center, Virginia. Sunday, 22 June 2014.

Further Conditions of Alzheimer’s

White mass on your brain

And you, brother, far away.

The pain sears my heart.

Sunday Morning

Vivaldi’s second

Spring, sadder than the season,

Evokes this soul ache.

Two a.m.

September city sounds,

Crickets, rhythmic thunk of ceiling fan whirring crooked,

Distant dog barking.

 

Encouraging them to bury the words

This conversation is done,

I realize futility.

 

Acid burn.

Single

Suddenly all changed

After months separated —

Promises broken.

Constantly apart

Savoring only moments

Together in love.
