yes, she's gone

i read about sylvia.

how she put her head in a oven
after
rolling towels
and blocking
the doors to where

her children slept.
keat's oven
no less.

she set glasses of milk
out for them
for when the day nurse
arrived,

then she turned on the gas.

without a flame,
there would be
no mistake this time.

this time her husband with
his new
love would

not have to ask.
