Lotus blossom
Imbibe its eternal melody
At ten past eight precisely
Nicotene fingers
Stale doughnuts
Dusty skirting boards
Marble moon skips through sheeted clouds
Why so aloof?
I am not yet a wolf
Mild stroke loosed my voice
Of confident middle range
Sang again to only polite guilt-laced applause
Daughter pleads deescalation
Cousin Jane removed well used mirror
Smashed
As family members hastily converge
Broken pieces parcelled
Plant cactus trees to all limbs to emphasise
A need for space
Nurses swap school day phrases
Venn Diagrams and Rhombuses and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so easily defined by scrambled egghead
Despised for my cleverness
Sneered at for clumsy table manners
Quaint named blues singers
Swap cathedral gowns
While eager priest presses wafer
To dried lips
Cup turned ninety degrees
To protect the faithful from these sins
I am not in the world but
Off the world
In my head I can solve all word searches and tell passers by on romantic evening strolls to look upwards to see rich red
Sunset
Parousia for the elect
Plant pot on my head removed
Jagged pieces confiscated
Back to front pullover taken off
Majority vote for yellow pills
I am now Remus
Or was it Romulus?
And who gives a ..... anyway
Dammed to cry
ALOUD
PROUD
Marble moon
Why so aloof?
At eight seventeen
Radio is unplugged
(Some inconsistency in the nursing notes as one entry states the time wa eight twenty two)
