Scene Unseen with Magazine

Scene Unseen with Magazine
 
(a poem of living with MS)


Her hand holds up her magazine,
  Its page turned back along its seam,
Her eyes focus upon a line,
  Which sends her back to sleep in time,
Her magazine falls on her face,
  She wakes and re-reads the same place

Dialogue;
  “I want to hold your hand,”
  “Your warm paw,”
Thinking;
  “Heal woman, heal”

She reads she says to fall asleep,
Though what she reads won’t let her keep
  resting,
    so it falls,
      and then,
She wakes to read once more again 

Dialogue:
  “What time is it?”
  “Quarter after, thirteen,”
  “I should get up”

Her hand holds up her magazine,
  Its page turned back along its seam,
Her eyes focus upon a line,
  Which sends her back to sleep in time,
Her magazine falls on her face,
  She wakes and re-reads the same place
