The river so dark,

the water sleeping

 slow around its edges.

   She asks

        What time is it?

     No matter.

Her eyes are wet with sleeping.

White: she revells

  in her homeliness

       and quietens

    when she’s speaking.

 She’s shy of answering

the door.

The fog rolls over

    low on the water

  and lying in bed

    she pulls up

       the covers.
