A twiglet’s aim is to “prompt” a thought. If something comes to mind, write. A polished piece isn’t the goal; creativity is. Leave a link, if you’d like your work read, but comments should not be expected.
I think often when people are in terrible accidents, sometimes knocked unconscious that they don’t remember all the details of how they ended up waking in a hospital (or any other place). If in a coma, once they wake sometimes there is damage to the brain in such a way that some portion of their lives is forgotten – So I think in reference to my piece the character was trying to wake but the foggy or unreachable memories could mimic or be actual amnesia of the event. I think that type of memory loss is actually called Traumatic Amnesia.

By summer’s long-end
I’m longing for autumn’s launch
then skip straight to spring.

Debi… I’m not sure how fast I want time to fly.
But I sure could do without the mosquitoes.

I’ve read your poem several times, waited before commenting, and I’m wondering about Debi’s reference to amnesia. Can you or Debi help me with this?

I’ll go back and reread it. You see, I kept thinking dementia whilst reading it.

Dementia… or some anyway are a type of more permanent often but not always (older) age related. Dementia is a broad term.
