she is young
perhaps forty years old
but in with the psycho-geriatrics
huntington’s chorea
makes her dance
in a long slow death
that steals the mind
before it takes the body
she is drooling
incontinent
disgusting
and for the duration
of a six-week long
rostered placement
has possession
of my breaking heart

This is some crazy and unpredictable stuff. I like it.
Ha, Nicholas! Welcome to my world.
Frank,
So difficult to watch...I’m sure! Such a horrible untreatable disorder! Do you know how long she lived from the onset of the disorder?
~Laura~
Not much past mid-40's, I think Laura. It strikes pretty young.
So, so sad!
Such an awful disease that strikes so young.
Very nasty indeed, GF.
