Demencia (S)

 Demencia (S)



On any given midnight 

Beneath each and every fallen night sky


Living lost 

In this wild city's jungles


Your memories linger

Growing in numbers


Like passing country fairs


Walking in unexpectedly 

Smiling like a reborn JFK


Only to be stolen away 

By Father Time 


Like a new Cunningham

Burke or Hare


Life's true 

Ladrona de tumbas

Of T cells


As he erodes eventually 

Everything he touches


As my synapses crumbles

And I enter a new hell
