my favorite aunt
starved herself
to death in throes
of acute early
onset alzheimer's
brain & body
inverted
devoured
themselves
we buried her today
but bid goodbye
a ways back
maybe it was
better she looked
so like & unlike herself
i held a barely there
bony hand &
remembered
must have been hard for you - well expressed though
ReplyDeletethanks, jonathan... it was really rough, but i have so many good memories to look back on.
