Locked
​
The medicine cabinet
sits empty,
all meds
(safely?)
locked away.
The knife block
sits empty,
all “sharps”
(safely?)
locked away.
The dresser drawer
sits empty,
all belts and straps
(safely?)
locked away.
The bedroom
sits empty,
my child
(safely?)
locked away.
For a time.
But ultimately,
they are free to choose.
So I
sit empty,
all of my insides
(safely?)
locked away.
