A woman hangs her memories to dry, stitches sentiments in fraying quilts, and wanders forgotten halls looking for herself as her self fades from within, burdened with dementia and nostalgia for people she can no longer remember. This is the story of a woman decaying within the grave of her own body.

Diminishing is a long-form poem that explores dementia and memory loss not just through the text but through the visual form as well. As the poem progresses, memories go out of focus, fragment, and eventually fade completely from the page. It is a project that re-centers poetic form in the modern, digital age and adapts in a world where scrolling is seldom interrupted to read.

Diminishing evokes a sense of nostalgia so powerful it will haunt you. These memories are your memories, and you will mourn for them as you watch them fade away from you.
