The suffering we know
bears no resemblance to her suffering
In her eyes
her entire self
her 'I'
Is so alive and present
It has burned its way
down through the centuries
searing the retinas
of billions of viewers
To each in turn saying
'I know'
It is the something
that has been all but lost
from our eyes
And in its place
is left a look
Of absence
