24 Mar 2019: "In Prison" By Jean Valentine

In prison
without being accused

or reach your family
or have a family            You have

conscience
heart trouble

asthma
manic-depressive

(we lost the baby)
no meds

no one
no window

black water
nail-scratched walls

your pure face turned away
embarrassed

you
who the earth was for.
