I Wait By The Car

she

wakes without warning
tugging at curtains
just enough to cut the dust
i check the post

she

searches for something
something to slurp
last night's curry
depleated, reheated
devoured in bed

she

shuffles off to the bathroom
splashes about
toothbrush on full
mirrored on tip-toe
draining the dam

she

searches for something
something to wear
steps into a dress
ties a scarf in her hair
then changes her mind
regardless of time

.....................i wait by the car
