Today the prompt is to use line breaks in a way that stretches my comfort zone.
Triptych.
Three people stand there, all
in the same place but
actually all in different places
Entirely.
The brain is a country that is
Closed to all
But those who live in it, and
Even then it is mysterious, and
Maps get lost.
One woman, confused in
Her mind, with
One man who loves and
Tries to guide her, and
There is the photographer, a
Selfie-taker caught in
A mirror, and trapped
As an insect in amber.
The frame serves
To divide the
Three of them at
The same time as
It keeps them all
Together, despite
The tide of
Dementia.
