in small
brown bottles are a mystery
to me.
do i dare ask
what they're for?
i see them aligned
like soldiers
in the medicine cabinet,
about to go to war.
pink and white,
small candies,
some round, some oblong,
others jagged
like little stars.
are they
to keep her walking,
to keep
her alive?
there's yellow ones too.
some green,
one blue.
one bottle says take
three per day,
one with a meal,
one at night.
