ALZHEIMER’S
He stands at the door, a crazy old man
Back from the hospital, his mind rattling
Like the suitcase, swinging from his hand,
That contains shaving cream, a piggy bank,
a book he sometimes pretends to read,
His clothes. On the brick wall beside him
roses and Columbine slug it out for space, claw the mortar.
The sun is shining, as it does late in the afternoon
in England, after rain.
Sun hardens the house, reifies it,
strive to add and grow work like a smithy
as sparks fly off, burning in the bushes
the rosebushes
while the white wood trim the fines solidity in space.
This is his house. He remembers it as his,
remembers the walkway he built between the front room
in the garage, the Rhododendron he chanted and back,
the car used to drive. He remembers himself,
a younger man, and in a tweed hat, a man who loved
music. There’s no time for that now. No time to music,
the peculiar screeching of strings, the luxurious
fiddling with emotion.
Other things have become more urgent.
Other matters are now of greater import, have more consequences must be attended to.
The first thing you must do, now that he is home, is decide who
this woman is, this old, white hair woman
standing here in the doorway, welcoming him in.
