Curve Ball<br />
Derek Grindle<br />
Photography<br />
11 ½” x 4 ½”<br />
As years pass on by,<br />
the mind gets fretted and cluttered<br />
like an Ivy League school tower.<br />
The memories of past tower on by<br />
and the lashes lash off the eye.<br />
A series of blinks<br />
like a series of winks<br />
bring on the questions<br />
of brilliance of a future so uncertain.<br />
The grey matter<br />
clings to a daughter so dutiful,<br />
so hopeful....<br />
So dementia is slowed<br />
and paused for brief moments of clarity.<br />
Mother can win Trivial Pursuit,<br />
but trying to memorize new faces or new names<br />
is more difficult than an engineer’s calculus.<br />
Once an art teacher,<br />
always an expressionist<br />
and painting comes easy<br />
and the easel is comfort<br />
in a presence of mazes–<br />
trying to make coherence in the presence.<br />
With nature, she tries to damask her Ivy on Dementia.<br />

Jennifer A. Fulco, 44, uses poetry as a tool to<br />
focus less on the mood swings and cycles of her<br />
bipolar disorder and to emerge as a creator. Ivy<br />
on Dementia is a metaphorical piece about her<br />
mother’s struggle with dementia. Previously in<br />
