Week 51 Pseudotaph
Phobia
A forced smile on her face
she stepped into the crowd.
Her agoraphobia erased
from view, buried, plowed
under by a far greater need
to allow her life to proceed.

Prompt: Pseudotaph is an invented word created by Chris Bays, associate professor of English at Clark State, Ohio, to title a poetic theme of "false burials". (the burial of things, thoughts, concepts, emotions, or memories.) This is in contrast with the "epitaph" that focuses on the burial of people or animals. The frame of the Pseudotaph is at the discretion of the poet. It is best when kept short.
