Mother Disappearing
Mother Disappearing
repaginating reality,
in private fashion,
in a doorless tabernacle,
dementia holds mother
hostage
no ransom to be had.
suspended like
Gods nearly touching Adam
though powerless to deliver
lucid breath to their mother,
the children, bereft of her
reassurance, are lost as she is.
