Portrait in Alzheimer’s Disease

by Michael Mark

It’s like she left and came back with a new haircut
left and came back with a scar
left and came back with different eyes, not
the eyes everyone said we shared
but the scar was gone
and she spoke a strange language and
left and came back without a son and
left and came back and never came back
