I saw my mother the other day
\nJust her portrait
\nShe didn\u2019t say
\nAnything
\nJust a smile
\nA sort of connection
\nFor a while
\nAn affiliation
\nA far off thread
\nWorth mentioning
\nFor she had been dead
\nMany decades
\nBut there she was
\nAnd perhaps I saw her
\nNow because
\nIt was episodic
\nOr absolute
\nBrought by Sepsis
\nAt its root
\nAn antidote yes possibly
\nThe streets where i was born
\nTo see
\nVivid pictures of a time
\nPlaces where i liked to climb
\nThe Anderson shelter
\nThe chicken shed
\nNo truer likeness
\nI was led
\nDown the back stairs
\nTo the greenhouse
\nWhere dad\u2019s Dahlia\u2019s
\nReplete
\nWere utterly beautiful and complete<\/p>\n
Order,
\n tidy harmony
\nRegulated accordingly
\nArraying and placed in fancy rows
\nIt was sort of where he chose
\nAn assemblage of petals red
\nCreating a great and flowery bed
\nInfection took the sense away
\nDrugged to the eyeballs
\nMuch to say
\nIteration tautology
\nRevenge and playback
\nExtraordinary
\nRepetitional
\nSame old round
\nHammering an incessant sound
\nWas i going to die
\nWas this the day
\nA fleeting passage
\nWould i pay
\nThe henchman really
\nWho could say
\nAs sepsis
\nTook me clean away<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
