spain
john sweet
he calls her mary
because he likes the name
she never talks to him
she escapes sometimes
but he always finds her
she makes the bed
with hospital corners
and puts powdered sugar
on the french toast
she has a garden
and a baby
and a scrapbook of pictures
from her trip to spain
he brings he flowers
she swallows pills all day
but nothing ever changes
her eyes are ocean blue
and bottomless
