EntangledA Story by Tantra BenskoIn my book, Collapsible HorizonPapa says an adding machine tape has gotten tangled up around his legs. He pulls it off his leg, but it's really his catheter tube, so he wets the bed. I tell him he's not in a tree, and I clean it up. He tells me all about it for an hour, and I to bed.
Then, he wakes me up, ringing the bell, to tell me I remembered his hallucination wrong. That really, it was a slide, coming down the side of a building, that he got stuck on. That I am losing my mind. I should be able to remember better. © 2013 Tantra Bensko |
