i can help you

i find her old straight jacket
in the closet
and immediately
think of you.
her pills are here as well,
the electroshock
treatments
hang on the wall
next to the snow
shovels, and rakes.
i still have
the wires, the rubber cups,
the glue.
there's the bucket
of holy water
in the cellar,
and the book on exorcism.
i tried to help her,
but nothing worked,
perhaps i can help you.
