The woman stands duly re-touched.
Lack of eye-liner hides vacant eyes
From wet fear welling up in corners.
Heck , no eyes, only bare fingers
Holding on to the insides of body,
Just re-touching a woman’s body
Lest it not go away from the dress.
(A haunting photograph of an Afro- Carribean mental patient in Haiti by Eve Arnold , the famous Magnum photographer who passed away recently at the age of 99)
