PaulThe Onset of Grief

A Wonderful Mother
It's been a year since my beloved mother Barbie died, so I'm reposting this poem.
the onset of grief
my brain is getting smaller
as the world cuts it to size
we’re dumbing down the hard bits
since we found that i’m unwise
the small pond of the big fish
now the marianas trench
i’m drowning in life’s ocean and
it’s something of a wrench
the man who once set vcrs
can barely lick a stamp
i thought i had a searchlight
it was a miner’s lamp
as the world cuts it to size
we’re dumbing down the hard bits
since we found that i’m unwise
the small pond of the big fish
now the marianas trench
i’m drowning in life’s ocean and
it’s something of a wrench
the man who once set vcrs
can barely lick a stamp
i thought i had a searchlight
it was a miner’s lamp
END.
