Poem: The Feathered Watercolor

The Feathered Watercolor

Mom, it has been exactly
7 months,
4 days
and 3 seasons
since you left.

But you are still here.

The doctor delivers
the diagnosis. 
The words are
blunt-force trauma
to my brain:
DeMeNtiA

***

Nurse Francis
empties the pills
from the tidy box
into the palm of your
pleading hand.

The air vent taunts 
its bogus chorus 
and chatter.
You hesitate,
yet you know.
You ask:
“Are the voices real?”
“Are you sure?”
“Why am I here?”

I lie the therapeutic lie;
the lie that contests
the diminishment
of a beautiful mind,
betraying itself.

And your watercolor portrait 
drapes like a curtain 
on the wall under which 
we sat for hours,
sipping our coffee and wine;
your granddaughter curled up
in your motherly arms.

Byline of Maria Claire Wenzel

Prior to pursuing her love of writing and poetry, Maria Claire Wenzel, MSHCA, spent most of her career as a healthcare administrator developing patient assistance programs for individuals with chronic conditions. “The Feathered Watercolor”, was written for and inspired by her beloved mother, who suffers from dementia. When Maria isn’t pondering the million ways to split a vowel, she is feeding her chickens with her husband and daughter on their farm in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

Poem: The One’s in Blue – Written by a Nurse

The One’s in Blue

I know I should remember my name and how to dress, Yet I cannot fathom why I remember less and less.

Last week I went out shopping and

forgot where I called home,

I didn’t know where or who I was, I forgot I had a phone.

You are also getting tired, it’s plain for all to see, and I am not the same person, i am no longer ‘me’.

I cannot control my emotions, I shout out hit and curse, That’s why they came and got me, that’s where I met that nurse.

I can no longer tell you where I am or what is meant to be, But I do know that those ones in blue are there to look after me.

They help me with my clothes, they help me brush my hair, They help me try to understand why you’re no longer there.

I now feel less stupid by those ones dressed in blue, They care they love they laugh, my tears now falling few.

They point you out in photos, and talk of our life had, My memories of us together no longer feeling sad.

Our lives have turned out different, this was never part of our plan, But those ones wearing blue have turned “I can’t” into “i can”.

About Maria Weeks:

After qualifying as a registered nurse in 2019, she worked within a hospital ward setting until recently moving into a role within a nursing home on a dementia unit. Although she felt she would miss the clinical chaos of the wards, maria has been nothing but astounded at the level of care the care/nurse staff provide on a daily basis on the dementia unit. She wrote this poem as an example of how the staff here can transform a life lost to honour a ‘life lived’.

Poem – REMEMBERING MARY

REMEMBERING MARY by Phil Ginsburg

In the end maybe it doesn’t matter that they never wrote back
That he didn’t apologize
That the salsa stain on your cardigan never came out
That your dreams fell asleep in the womb
That you were often passed over
passed by and never learned to conjugate verbs in the past perfect,

That you lost your will to live but kept on living

Failed geometry twice
Never did Vegan, never did Vegas

Never did what they told you,
Never told them what you did

Never got what you deserved
Never deserved what you got

That you flossed twice a day
Took your blood pressure meds regularly

Watched your sodium intake,
The nightly news
Once snoozed three Facebook friends

Never saw Elton John perform live
Or viewed Lenin’s dead body.

In the end what does matter is the day when Mary’s DNA pressed the
SELECT ALL option on the keyboard of her cerebellum

Then its index fingerprint on the DELETE KEY

Making one last withdrawal from Mary’s memory bank

Maybe it does matter
How two days after that
Mary’s husband Bernie sat at table
With a half eaten English muffin and a Kodak Moment photo of their summer Vacation in the Costwolds decades ago

He reminded Mary of a pub where they dined on Sheep Street

And how the One who is able to restore the heavenly Manna of memory
Will, in the end, make all things new

Even perhaps offering them both a platter of Bangers and Mash in Paradise

At that moment something lit up in the dark hallways of Mary’s hippocampus

And, after not speaking a complete phrase in sixteen months, suddenly blurted

“Bangers and Mash? I had almost forgotten how much I loathe that dish”

Mary never spoke again after that

At the church. during Mary’s brother’s solemn eulogy
Bernie remembered his wife’s last words and broke out, in what some described unholy spasms of laughter

It was an awkward moment, to be sure

But Bernie didn’t care

In the end, he reasoned, maybe it doesn’t matter if there’s Bangers and Mash in Paradise

He’ll have Mary again

And, hopefully, maybe some decent Chinese takeout.

Author Byline:

Phil Ginsburg is a playwright/poet who lives in Colorado Springs, CO.  His most recent theater piece is a virtual play entitled “Voices Beyond the Veil” that can be viewed on VillageArts.AnywhereSeat.com “Remembering Mary” is a work prompted by witnessing the effects of Alzheimer’s on several friends in his life.

Poem: Shifting Sands

Shifting Sands

by Jane Locker Willis

You understand, don’t you

that I no longer do?

But my eyes smile just the same,

yet I can’t recall your name.

Have I met you before,

how much do you know,

how long will you stay

and why don’t you go?

You understand, don’t you

that I no longer do?

Yet I feed and sleep and eat

just as you do.

My bed is not my own

that much is true.

The nurses come, they go

some old, some new.

You understand, don’t you

that I no longer do?

Unlearning every day

the narrowing of my view.

When you have gone from here

Your memory intact

Write on a card myname

and send it back.

My Heartbreaking Journey with Alzheimer’s – A Caregiver’s Lament

Celebrate World’s Alzheimer’s Month – Share Your Story

Another heartfelt prose from John Sweeney one of our community members. John’s honesty will touch anyone who reads his words below. The heartache and love that holds us together when dementia hits someone we love.

My Heartbreaking Journey with Alzheimer’s – A Caregiver’s Lament

At my 80^th birthday party, with the family gathering in fall of 2009,

Family noticed Virginia’s memory problem they couldn’t define,

Our daughters had made observations that they brought to my attention,

Concluded that Mom had memory issues, they were reticent to mention,

Things for which I was very unaware, because of my closeness to her,

I had missed many of the little indicators that would frequently occur,

But the family had seen the signs, to them they were in plain view,

After that I started to watch, sadly as I came to see them too,

Signs of forgetfulness seem to display more often than before,

Observations, painful to me, seem to be recurring more and more,

One painful example, she urgently called to my attention one day,

Her husband would be at the airport soon, we needed to be underway,

She needed to go to the bathroom while at a family affair,

“That young gal here is going to take me and show me where”,

It was a granddaughter that she loved so much in days of yore,

So very painfully sad that my love didn’t know her anymore,

Our daughters had come to visit with us at our apartment one day,

She called me aside whispering to me, sadly I heard her say,

“Who are those two ladies we were talking with out there?”

Fear shook through my frame as I became very much aware,

Slowly realizing I was losing the woman I had loved over 60 years,

This terrible disease, Alzheimer’s, was filling me with many fears,

It seemed now was time to explore with specialist in neurology,

At what point in this heartbreaking path now do we seem to be,

The Doctor set up an appointment with Neuro technicians for a brain scan,

From there he would have what was needed for a treatment plan,

With an aviator’s style head gear with contacts and wires everywhere,

It looked like a swim cap, the kind that Esther Williams used to wear,

The diagnosis stung when the description of the problem was read,

And I was shockingly informed with news that I had come to dread,

Alzheimer’s was the diagnosis, more news that hurt to the core,

For I had read many of the outcomes of this terrible disease before,

My mind raced, thoughts buzzed violently in my aged head,

As I contemplated what sorrow, pain and anxieties lay ahead,

As time passed, terrible anxieties burdened the love of my life,

It pained me greatly to see the stress in her, my beloved wife,

“We need to call my parents or grandmother so they hear from me!”

Her parents passed in the 1940s and her grandmother in 1953,

She would panic, searching, the “baby” was nowhere in sight,

A horrible feeling, sobbing kept awake in the middle of the night,

It soon became apparent, caring for her was beyond my ability,

Painfully searching, at this point what could the answer be,

After counsel with all the family, we all soon became aware,

The best solution for her well being was a room in Memory Care,

As I filled out the application, with my eyes filled with tears,

I realized we would be separated for the first time in 70 years,

She moved to memory care in the month of January 2019,

More evidence of cognitive regression was gradually seen,

One of the most painful experiences not noticed before,

That most of the time, she doesn’t know who I am anymore,

But with everything we have lost, and how our lives are stressed,

I remember fondly my 70 years with her, I have been blessed.

By John Sweeney – John lives in an Independent Living apartment in Cherrywood Pointe of Roseville, MN.   His wife Virginia is in Memory Care in the same facility.
