When Alzheimer’s slithered into her brain…and took u...

Cascading Colors

...A Kaleidoscope, my best toy!
Hours flew as new colors emerged,
A cascade of abstract-colored joy
Myriad patterns of colors surged.

Colorful glass in serpentine slides,

Nebula of Lies

...
You had me
for a year, I believed it all was true.
Every moment, every action,

My Man

Even as the piles of clothes lay tattered. 
The door is open ...

X,UNDERGROUND,
