| Reduced To Now
Janet Kuypers 3/26/15 adapted from 2006’s “This Is What It’s Reduced To Now” I make phone calls because now that my mother is dying and so far away this is what it’s reduced to now I call and dad answers because mom can’t talk and now she has to take pills, you see pills to keep her functioning as long as she can before the cancer in her blood does her in and the potassium pills are so large that they upset her stomach to swallow them a pill apparently went down sideways, injured her throat so she has been unable to eat for over a week now they gave her a liquid to slosh around in her mouth to make her numb so she can take her medication not eat, but take her medication ### and this is what it’s reduced to now, hearing bit by bit of her deterioration not that it matters to her, but just so you know it’s killing me too |
