proved hot yesterday
by the time I had walked and cut the grass
i came very damp
changed into thin cotton
pale blue with flowers
of summer
and drew quietly
my thing
while she also
at her house
drew pastel clouds
i sent photographs
for inspiration yet
continued to draw
joan
the brave creature
seemed a long languid day
full of tidyness and thought
things bit. left red bumps
tried my hair back and stared
in the mirror james at all
that has happened.
