The book (new prose)

The book

The woman keeps each season pressed into books flowers leaves rock salt always putting the outside

inside always putting the very ground she's walked on up high on a shelf then forgetting about it the

pages change and wear away as any white skyed day would a bird is pressed in the sky a feather is

pressed in the snow winter berries on bottoms of tennis shoes the book took every color she had

forgotten until now and when she opens it again its words a child would write on her drawing of a

rainbow

closed my bank debit card

 will go into the bank for cash, and I just ordered checks, the ones with carbon paper underneath each  and I'm not getting a pre-paid card for stores.  just cash. Won't be buying Anything online.  wanted to do more in person anyway. $39.55 and $39.99 fraudulent charges showing up on online banking I'll have to absorb these. I think I'm safe.

I'm just hearing how great Women's Health Services are in Clinton, Iowa.

 Did not do proper care for me while pregnant, didn't find out I was carrying two babies til a doctor came from Iowa City, two weeks before delivery. Went back recently to get a pap, and the doctor there couldn't get it, took up to 4 speculums. I told them everything, I'm going thru menopause, no offer of estrogen, or any kind of pill, told her I'm having pain from fibroid cysts in my uterus.  Nothing, ignored. This place should be shut down!!
