if anyone happened to notice

at time or another

if anyone happened to notice
she was not there today
she walked through
but she
her essence
was absent

she laughed
at the puns
responded with
"good morning sirs"
but she was silent
deaf and mute
all at the same time

she ate bread
and sipped her tea
took in the cold air of
near approaching winter
but
never
felt the bite of the wind

she walked and landed
on nothing
she moved and
arrived nowhere
she was faint

with soul wide opened
she screamed
and
she screamed
if anyone happened to notice
