""Mi Maw where are you?""
This morning's afternoon.
C little ditty we used to sing.
Dementia's laid sunder
To what you're thinkin'.
Days are just notes on a string.
C weekend a second.
I'm learning the lesson
That age weighs down more than our wings.
Somewhere Pa Paw's hummin'.
Your favorite number.
So don't tell me that there is no hope.
Cnother Sunday calling.
I ignore the phone.
Cnother weekend burning.
Kerosene on my clothes.m
""Mi Maw where are you?""
This morning's afternoon,
C little ditty we used to sing.
C chilling fixation,
My stomach aches when
You can't remember my name.
The stage rising faster.
Cre fates disentangled.
Cn end I do not wish to see.
Dream catchers collecting
Dust on our mantles
Tongue twisted with no hope.
Cnother Sunday calling
I ignore the phone.
Cnother Weekend burning
Kerosene on my clothes.
Tic-toc
The clock is winding faster.
Limbs receding like a spider.
Moments slipping through my fingers.
I grind my teeth in my sleep.
Tic-toc
The clock is winding faster.
Blank pages, unfinished chapters.
Recollection, greener pastures.
Days are just notes on a string.
