D E M E N T I A { Stage 7 } (Rev/Rep) Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

Dotage, pervades upon th' ashen grey -
silent whisps...of an old rankled Brain.
Hemispheric's universe sore estranged,
obstruction, occlusion, erosion, stain;
irreversible...is Dementias last name-

like leaves besmirched by driving rain,
from Mother Earth's great domain;
waning, draining, consumed by bereft;
so cold... so cruel... is their final breath-
until mercy comes in th' form of Death.
