Palsy
(1817 AD)
starts with a twist
a palsied twitch a nod
more movement
slow loss of grip
bottle-tops won’t open
things fall to the floor
twist and twitch
turn into shakes
bad vibes not good
words tripping
on not off tongue
stumbling over teeth
vitality extinguished
a dullness in the eyes
a cork-screw turning in
bland the writing
both erased
chalkboard and page
dry honey tunnels
yellow calcined skull
empty hexagonal cells
this lone bee searching
for a special something
it can no longer find

Yeah, Palsy is a good one, subtle and fraught. #FilledWithDread Chuck

Thanks, Chuck. I didn’t realize palsy / the palsy was Parkinson’s until I started the research for this poem. Now I know and it makes sense of so many other things.
