a woman waiting

the slender
woman in a summer
dress, white
and plain,
is standing near a door
awaiting
someone to arrive.
she's cool
and patient
with her tilted hat
just so,
her hands folded
in front of her.
she seems in no hurry,
she is where
she needs to be,
there is no where else
she needs to go.
her eyes are hidden
behind dark glasses.
almost smiling,
strangely aglow.
