out of meds
prompts a walk into town
prescription unfilled

VII.VII
A minute taken to admire the art's size
from the top step of her ladder down,
she wishes she knew someone in the high-rise
to see her rooftop from the tower's crown.
She climbs down, closes off the skylight
and opens all the windows in the flat;
it won't be long before the day has twilight
it's time to put on public coat and hat.
With several tins of food to make her dinner
she doesn't need to pawn her few possessions
she has no issue with becoming thinner
but cigarettes to smoke are an obsession.
