The musings of an odd person

Posted , 5 users are following.

This was written some considerable time before diagnosis but sums up how I felt at the time.

Restoration

The roof needs attention, the loft space is damp

My head looks fine, the brain vandalised by fog

The walls have cracks the paint is peeling

My skin looks fine, underneath a thousand insects crawl

The building leans subsiding slightly

I teeter swaying this way and that

The house feels cold, empty, unkempt

 wires dangling free unconnected

Do  I feel cold or hot,  I am undecided

Nerves interrupted, pulsating incorrect messages

Twisted floorboards,

Contorted muscles,

Uncanny resemblance

Brought back by caring builders, never as good as new but designed for today

Brought back by the caring profession, never as good as before but as good as can be.

We both enjoy being loved.
