Implicit information
explicitly shown in
woven paisley and
plaid prints in the
days before the word
victim fit
mirrored in a face in
smiled kindness
when compassion
emptied out into a
moment hidden
from view as
needs were met
not hers’ and when
morning came scars
unseen played out in
emotions walking
with her cavalier
a life seeming like any
other but transformed
into a daydreaming
nightmare seen in
paisley and plaid as
unadorned  fodder
