“Empathy” by Sergio Maestrini
no such thing as
invisible illness
it’s right there
behind unfocused eyes
under fricative
sighs of speech
in detached
helpless gestures
if only you
care to notice
From my books Bohemian Scents and Legacies (vol. 1)
Beautiful

I’ve learned a new word: fricative!
This poem highlights a truth, like all the best poetry does, in my opinion. Thank you for sharing it.
