OUCH she was out of synch   he wished he could help her but she was beyond him she wouldnt look at him he was right in front of her
   NO

last night

a stumbling apparition

dressed for the cold

he lived in SoCal

she wore a white stocking cap

white scarf around her throat

white socks above the top of her boots

rest of her garments jet black  slacks  sweater  car coat  boots 
she stumbled
               he couldnt tell if she was ill inebriated or stoned 
WHOA WHOAWHOA thought she was going over WHOAwent back on her heelsthought she was going over  she pulled it out

looked like she had something in herbook looked like she had a book in her hands  she thrust it out in front of herself when she rolled backwards 
                                 ballast
 
  regained  she stood fastlegs widespread

clutched the book to her chest

gamely  steadily    she turned around 
she walked away from him 


walking off she disassembled asif made of ash

he watched her until she was gone

it appeared she dropped the book

he walked over to where he thought it fell
dirty snow
           smudge of ash 

it melted quicklyscarcely a puddle
