a woman's walk through the 1800's

a fine day
in her fancy dress
a frolic down a woven path

one encounter with a suited man
a stare made of intent

a quick sneeze
his ironed kerchief
she gladly accepts

his stare becomes a  longing
that her hazel eyes return

in the distance
a church bell ringss
she silently curtsies

her legs, her mind
heavy with desire
for the long walk home


a veiled conversation
with her sister over
a delicate cup
of chamomile
puts her day to rest
