filling the empty space

she liked to rescue
things.
dogs and cats,
men. repair
an old table with a scratch.
a pair of shoes,
a hat.
she was handy with
the needle and thread,
the shoulder
to lie on,
she knew how to bring
them back
to life, but
she needed them more
than they
needed her, 
filling an empty space
it was her vice.
