alzheimers

by heather - Taurus

(for Jedek)
a disease that should stand nameless
a disease that robs you 
faceless
allowing you to
stumble through structures
and the wasteland
of your mind

was it worth the worry now
do you think?
rotting keys to jammed
doors;
 pride left over in the billfolds
of your life
 are all thats left behind

but i can't help but pity you
as you struggle down to 
memories you cannot name;
stumble down the sidewalks 
of your rage

and i'll strain to tell 
you mercy
will still release
you.

Reason for writing:

    my grandfather
