she walked out of the shadows
thrown by trees into the wash of the sun
a
midday summerJuly sun
that irradiated the fat sand sparkling in the concrete ciliate
motes whirling at her ankles her calves churned by her daughters to each
side holding hands
the children were mongoloids
they were lost in the midst of fast
conversation
their smileslaughter
rapidly coursingcrossing their faces FUN made him smile as
they chattered
he enjoyed their ease natural genuine
Wha
word to colourem he thought Not
coloured between the linesNo tha woud

WatercolouredYes diffuse moving where the moistwash drew them
they were oblivious to the people
who stepped wideround them
passersby who were unnatural uncomfortable averted their eyes impulse to stare acting asif theyd contract the girls
condition
passersby
failing to recognise their
fortune
