a sketch a face

still lines
but not without
unpredictable mood-swings

just lines
in parabolic
and hyperbolic
trajectories

a reality
sometimes tangent
at other times
dots in a straight line

searching
for what is
or what is not

the face
in the sketch
a loved one
or anyone
so familiar
yet evading recall

dwindling sensitivity
or feigned amnesia?
a sketch
or a face

dear witness ..
