Alzheimer's

Everyone is sorry
No one knows why
Like a ten ton lorry
Has fallen out of the sky

What is it that we can say
When words fail us
I am sorry I do not have the words
It is just the loss
Of so much we have worked for
Such an empire of dust
That falls from between our fingers
Dirt on the floor
In the House of Love

Carpets are swept up
Like a sea
Under the waves
Swim the Hippocampus ponies
