A human being on the brink,
A heart opened,
A heart broken,
A frozen anguished moment, too painful to think.

Hands clasped to each side of face,
Imaginary fingers in imaginary ears,
Mouth and eyes wide, streaming invisible tears,
A sister spirit, certified, petrified, mental case.

So worried of the “Disease” you see,
He caught in brush strokes her tormented soul,
Reflected in empty eyes, blacker than coal
Afraid he too had inherited the family insanity.

All against red sunset backdrop seen,
Heard....
A Haunting..... Deafening......Silent.......
