Anne

locked up
in your
plastic
summer home,
with nothing
but
yellow moths
trapped between
screens
and with
faded curtains
on the
window panes

constantly
bothered
by enamel
doctors
and nurses,
who think
you are
strange,
even though
you never
spoke

your nighttime
nurses
would come
by
with your
pearl pills
and would
bring you
sleep
and
inspiration
to write
of your
stays
in your
summer home
