Little Testament
Thinking about the way
this is starting to work. Something
from the outside, some sudden occurrence, startling. A woman starts out
on a slow day to run a few errands. A woman starts out
and this is no small thing, this day; these errands.
She starts out. She thinks of starting to work, and then
She thinks cold. Outside cold. And always this talk
About the weather .
What was it that the mind was thinking
While the feet were walking?
