Yesterdays
thin out
in crumbling light
of blue veined years
bone-lean survivors
cocoon
twiddling
their thoughts
marooned in lapses
speech is sidetracked
by spillover words
and people plots
On visiting day
we laugh together
at scattered perceptions
hug
loose – wired
memories
wheres and whens
rebound
for brief hiatus . . . .
– Adele Kearns Thomas
