Sign Inventory - week 11

Alzheimer's: the Wife

It encompasses the image of an Alzheimer's patient and the deterioration of the mind. It is a very personal thing that is documented here as an experience. The deterioration becomes more minor to progressing. There is rhyming at times in the piece. It asks questions. Vague approach to the face, calling it "it" as if disconnected from it with herself and her image. Ambiguity of the daughters in the pieced outlined by their belongings whether than who they are and phrasing "boy Jed" as a possession and not a person. There are short declarative sentences for the first two lines.
