A friend with Alzheimer's begins painting Mountains

Poetry by Bill Neumire

A friend with Alzheimer's begins painting Mountains

​

I jump in the lake


            and nothing new happens.
But it feels different.
It is                   critical           that I talk
to you.
Most of the time
I’m stumbling            forward

                                    which, in the dark,        I learn

              is not forward at all.
