.......early onset
The blue is missing from the sky today
the trees still have leaves
outside it is cold
the wind is cruel.
There is a person
in front of me
i don’t know who it is.
I remember playing out
with my sister
on a skipping rope.
It is cold inside,
that lady told me it is morning,
that is why I stretch and yawn.
The lady said I had a visitor
i was frightened to ask:
‘What is a visitor?‘
The world outside is very big
and it looks very unfriendly to me.
I remember when everything was nice
and we had tea together.
I wonder if i am asleep,
this is not my home,
why am I alone?

I used to love the Be Good Tanyas, John. It occurred to me just the other day that we are possibly the first generation to be so aware of dementia, that we are constantly on our guard for it, both in ourselves and in our loved ones. There's a thought.
