Memory Care
for Anita
I heard some of you got your families
living in cages, tall and cold,
and some just stay there and dust away
past the age of old.
~ Jimi Hendrix "Up From the Skies" (1968)

age breaks the cage
the canary
lingers

the soft-boiled egg
of her mind cracks
open

day after
yellowed day
nothing stays

each morning
she rises to a
fresh world

plays out childhood
from vague finish
to start

rides the glass
slide down foggy
mirrors

she smiles
as she waits
for the flash
