Dementia – #poetry #2020aprpad

April 9, 2020

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

It is all about words. Your words are enough to shatter someone's heart. Your words are enough to make a broken heart unbroken. Words have the power to change your life perspectives.
