everybody forgets about her
and what she did for the family
now the family breaks apart
as if the alzheimers spread
into everyone's head
The last time she visited me
was in a dream
she walked in my house
and dragged her finger
across a dusty coffee table
and shook her head
with disappointment,
demanding that I clean.
And thats exactly what i did
when I woke, wiping up all the dust
after drying my eyes
of sandy salt water
