thar she perched on the dry stone-
capped stone wall one morning
misty swirled the trees on the flat-
meadow horizon with right leg folded
down slipper-pointing to the earth with
sharp-ankle contrast to the stone and
left leg folded up anchored over right
knee padding-(pushing / rocking a loose
stone?) like Tara ready to step from her
lotus with pretty waist and pulled-back
sleeves – wait wait – she pulls the sheet
from the neat-clack type-writer perched-
nestled against shin-bone in her lap – whawassat? – sheet stays wrapped around
the platen, shoulders, bandana’d hair, pointy nose, pointy breasts, all, read
attention to the words – held held – and while a telegraph pole leans slightly
from the weight of all its messages a light flashes up from the distant trees
