spends much of life in bed, Interred beyond her
time in drugs and pain. Grateful only for
the gift of sleep, Having lost the
will to laugh or weep, The shrunken doll
repeats just one
refrain, Yearning for the

Even so, the trail
of pills has led Into a world she
grapples with in vain, Grasping for a
grace she cannot keep, Harsh and vivid
hauntings of the brain |
