Dementia

he thinks I’m his wife
the resident in room twelve
but I died last year
so why am I here — and how
did I cook his eggs?

The Last Age

mist-clouded sunset
he looks for her in the shadows
the last age

Shoeing the Cat

Grandma with her shoe horn
tries to shoo the cat outside
puss loves this game

I Never Told Her

Dementia

I never told her
it rained again; fall was here
she was somewhere else
