the savage moment
the savage moment
give the memories names past present and future
collect them in the careful place to be forgotten
pretend to nurture flames and to respect culture
fearing to show the fearful and the loves besotten
as an aching heart betrays and the breath flutters
whispers seeping from lips collecting in puddles
well hidden in their displays as dementia mutters
existing in dreamlike clips while a vision doubles
bones brittle joints slow the house settles leaning
into the foundation roots winds blow ancient air
a roof watches walls below paint cracked peeling
a table of decayed fruits yet every cabinet is bare
climbing steps one at a time to go sit on the bed
the savage moment behind and only death ahead
