Dementia & Delirium

by Robin Ouzman Hislop — Read all 170 poems by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Tuesday, December 27, 2005


Poem Artwork
parallels seeking identity in
this world so small & weak
of myth & fiction.

a forgotten story
found in a corner long ago,
difficult to know,

a time of apprehension,
a suspension of meaning
that can be enclaved,

stood on a pedestal,
a collector's item,
a laminated epitaph.

it doesn't matter
at the gates of paradise,
or so it seems.

a fatal snag in the equation,
the right answer
through the wrong reason.
Gift Of Tongues

This is yet another of your poems that really make one think; and it deserves more than one reading. Thank you, Robin. Happy New Year to you with love and peace,

The forgotten story of two spinster lesbians hidden in the corner of an 18th Century closet who eventually went mad from chronic anxiety in their golden age, trying to remember how society had once put them on a pedestal because they were "business partners" calling themselves "seamstresses" who dressed the Victorian town quite nice. Their epitaph reads "We Sowed Our Wild Oats and Never Became Grannies!" and they still went to Heaven. This is a representation of Equality in any sense, Robin. This is Feminist Euphoria!

Fascinating concept, Robin. I've just read this a number of times and each time I discover more levels to it. Dimentia being the deterioration of the brain, and delirium dealing more with mental confusion as myth and fiction they cross paths, but are not quite the same.
