Jane Doe
Fighting outside with
eyes half-open
cigarette ashes
and empty beer cans
sit on the bench
the carriage rolls
into the street
red lights rolling
no sirens, crying
sounding
as she is taken
away
Mommy never -
holds her at home again
has a home again
is held by her Mommy again
I will get her back, she says
going from state to state
man to man
fighting outside with
eyes half-open
