carrying water

how could she know,
where the light is,
her hands
on a post,
the wall, the rail leading
down the hall.
i hear the creak
of steps
as she goes slowly down
the flight.
i never heard her
rise, or felt
the touch of her lips
in fond goodbye.
it worries me,
until she returns,
carrying water
in the light.
