Losing you
Silently,
slowly, dusk overtook day.
Transformed,
it became a secret night world.
Stealthily
possessing your defenceless soul.
No one
remembers — especially you.
We watch
powerless, as you wither away.
Thin as
the host that absolves us each Sunday.
Mind
gradually drained, you begin to evaporate
Day by
day — til’ you’re gone forever
Into that
shrouded pea soup —
‘Dementia’,
A word
to be smothered at birth.
