\nmemories of—
\nbeings
\nnames
\nplaces
\npast
\ncommunity<\/p>\n
\ndismembered by the selfsame process—
\na yawning chasm<\/p>\n
\nbeing becomes a remote blur
\non the horizon— pale-bluish-orange-dark<\/p>\n
\nof fire-breathing monsters
\nhungry for crumbs of memories
\ndripping away in their flight
\ninto the forest of dementia<\/p>\n
\nburnt-out, scary
\nliving becomes walking dead
\nand the region gets dissolved<\/p>\n
\nby rushing fogs<\/p>\n
\nshrouded
\nby storms.<\/p>\n
