Dementia
by
Rhona Aitken

I lost sight of life -
for just a little while.
The ambiance of where I was
disappeared.

Whose walls?
Whose doors?

No - it is not something forgotten.
Its something I don't know.
The people in my sight
smile - look kind,
but who are they?

Not people I've forgotten -
they are people
qjuite suddenly
I don't know.

What have I lost sight of?
Where did the world
I felt I knew
go.
