hour 12 – spring cleaning in the dementia wing of rolling green village

depression’s daughter, i should not be surprised
at what you find worth keeping:
oranges, toilet paper, salt shakers,
mail, important but unopened,
a few hundred sets of stale oyster crackers–
neat rows near but not touching
photos of your children when they were children,
the way you now see them, and whom you desperately miss.
