This is about a woman I knew from church. Her viewing was last week. She got dementia and spiraled downhill in about four years' time. She had been a journalist at one time. I am glad that she is now at peace.
Silent
is she whose
sharp mind
unraveled;
she died.
This woman,
friendly,
loved to gab
and laugh.
Unsmiling
in her
casket now. . .
her face
is strangely
beautiful.
