Dementia – #poetry #2020aprpad
Prompt: write an Ekphrastic poem (photo #1)
Dementia
memories of you are
slip
slip
slipping away
like sand through fingertips
but it will do no good
to turn the hourglass upside down
those won’t be old memories
tumbling
funneling
spiraling through
like vintage photos of our lives
no, those will be new ones
too soon forgotten
