my eyes they view the afternoon (part 1)


went down and that was it

going to make my Aunt a cup of tea

a cup of tea and went down to the floor

woke in hospital

*

try to get up

image shouts

*

where am I going?

different than a normal fall

try to get up , couldn’t shout or anything

don’t remember the brain scan

*

I woke through heavy sleep

in hospital my rest defeat

*

cry with aggravation

particularly in the early stages

can’t even get to your own wardrobe

have to ask for everything

shadow’s form to ask

everything against your nature

against your nature

always wanted to do things myself

accepted it more than to begin with

in terrible pain, chronic pain/relief

*

my eyes they view the afternoon

but when I sleep

*

get back to my Aunt

I care for and love

only the two of us

a normal quiet life, the living day.
