Leaning toward an
outside line
outside time
a place where
wheels roll not
and white hair
stays fresh from
being done
and visitations
come as Alzheimer's
disconnections
grace her
memories shuffled
as she used to
down the corridor

*sigh* sad, lovely lines
i like the outside line
ReplyDeleteoutside time a lot jerry - takes one to a different place..beautiful
Memories, tragic but heartfelt...visions of a woman reduced by time. There are few things harder to see than alzheimers in ones we love...to watch them look and yet forget...
ReplyDeleteJust excellent.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and arresting images
ReplyDeletenice jerry...that last stanza esp..leaves me a bit chilled
ReplyDeleteOne of the most powerful things about this picture is that it is a kind of mirror we can all see ourselves in. You captured the essence of that here.
ReplyDeleteExcellent word choices on a way-familiar theme (I've read all of this week's Picture Prompt pieces - this is the last one of the batch). Effective stuff.
