Alzheimer�s disease
You shook your indifferent wattles
or was that the wind shaking them
the wind or a breath, held then expelled
by your handmaidens, handlers, or grooms.
Your mane was pomaded, silk-heavy; it fell
in thick locks, when required to,
over your brow, like a blessing�
or was it disguising your brow:
High in the mind�s eye, in memory high
in fact not so.
Your brow was narrow.
You tossed your pomaded wattles and narrowed your eyes
and in fact there was a pile of corpses in the street
and maybe more than one; your eyelids
like phone books, like rolls of roofing lead:
That heavy. You narrowed your bright eyes
but they kept rolling.
