everything now was fine

we will come to take
her away
they said on the phone.
it's the law
if she doesn't comply.
we need
to see the paper work.
we need
to see her in person.
a doctor, a therapist,
a psychiatrist needs
to look into her eyes.
and after the second
or third time
after finding her curled
in a black ball.
she no longer talked
about ending things.
she said softly from
someplace
deep inside her,
that everything now
was fine. just fine.
