Senility
Through her filmy eyes,
scanning the daylight hues,
wary of what lies in wait around the corner
or what might slip up behind a lean back.
The icy freeze that racks her body
down below weakened spine,
causes her to search frantically
for unseen glow in the faces around ;
while she struggles to remember
exactly where home inhabits
a vision leaving the clarity of her mind.
