Mom blues

Woke today in black, deep depression
Haven't been like this for a long time and
can't seem to shake it off.
Evaluating what is going on to prompt this.
Life is good here, very good - no problems.
Then...remembered that tonight is the
anniversary of her last fall.
While the family was all at a concert
(she begged everyone to go and have fun)
she tried to get out of bed while alone
and fell
and laid there
and hurt
and failed.
The end was only a few days off then.
It hurts to remember
even when I don't know I'm remembering or
hurting.
