I cannot.
In all this quiet I cannot think,
And you and your arms
And your sheath
Breaking down around me.

I like to tell people
What you are –
How you are what you are.
To put this mask on
And feel like it’s normal.

But then again,
It is normal for us.

And then the tremors
And the big spoon dilemma,
The agoraphobia
(Or so it seems).

And I cannot drag you out
And I will not lose to this;

But I think I lost
The moment you decided

To give up.

Please mother, please just put your shoes on, get in your wheel chair and we'll go somewhere fancy.

:'(

the big spoon dilemma - mum can't really use cutlery anymore, well not very well anyway.

sheath - myelin sheath (it breaks down in Multiple sclerosis, which is what mum has), also a sheath is a case for a knife etc. you can think of your own ideas.

i'm sad.
