Losing Chase
she rested
in a mental
ward, her breakdown
cured in a tomato garden
white terry cloth
tied around her forehead
sweatband catching perspiration
she went off one too many times
she came home
woman companion hired
to keep a watch on her
mental temperature, it got
hot
women discover
what blocks their
psyche, and, what opens
their legs
