Unfamiliar Familiar

This poem is about Alzheimer's, which a family member of mine has. I wrote this because his condition is getting worse and I felt like I was scratching at the walls of my skull for words, & this came

Lost on a staircase

How did I get here?

Where do these steps lead?

Was I going up or down?

Scratching at the walls

Trying to find a light switch

Anything

To get me back

To the place 

Where I remember.
