I’d like to submit an entry for the poetry category in this year’s writing contest. This poem is dedicated to all capsuleers who care(d) for a loved one dealing with a neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s.

* * *

It seems not very long ago  
that your mind was safe as highsec,  
the largest freighters easily hauling  
memories between past and present.

At first it seemed bad luck,  
sometimes memories got ganked,  
a deep space transport getting caught  
at some random gate.

Then one by one the systems fell,  
the trusted trade routes broken,  
yet with increasing effort  
blockade runners still pass.

Today your mind is like a shattered wormhole,  
only the smallest ships get through,  
their cargo-hold barely large enough  
to bring scattered shards of past

Tomorrow, the heart-shaped capsule  
with no cargo but oneself  
will carry love as the last thing  
that can still warp from me to you.
