Things are dropping away

Emile Dubois

Things are dropping away. Memory once recalled easily Now conspires to evade. Yet consciousness remains.

Gone is the recognition
The words get stuck in a treacle like haze. Journeying without cognition. Life a malaise.

Past times are out of step
With a reality that pervades.
Consequence absent. Unaware condemned to confusion. The unknown lost, silent.
