vervain______

i keep her
in the small room.
door shut
blinds closed (only now she is opening them)
windows
locked
tight.
i bring her food
to keep her there.
toys
candy.
but
it seems
she is growing bored.
i no longer know
what she needs.
i have no way
of knowing.
what is it she could need?
i bring her toys,
candy,
a steady
paycheck.
will someone tell me
what it is she could
want?
