the blank face
           of loneliness
 catches the mood
&speaks aloud 

  a unique moment
       in time 
captured in paint
     so difficult
     to pin down
  those ethreal
 butterfly moments 
we all experience

the human condition 
       on young frozen faces
mirrored
 in images 
posed pictures 
asking &
   left for imagination 
to fill in
  & join up 
        the dots
a
tear
& a sigh
of what might have been
the
so sad
memories
of a lady
     in green

His
young life
a forfeit-
&
singleness her
cross
