i   can't hear   her   answer
i   repeat   question
pressing   her
as   to   my   fault
until   she   bows
her   head
and   is   lame
perhaps   she'll   want   a taxi

swimming   finally
start   without   her   but
they   have   closed   the shutters
on   the   side   of the   pool
and   hand   me
the   dripping   child  
when she   handed   me   the child
she   said   this   is
great   aunt   medorah
i have   only   old   towels
and   i   use   the   blue -
edged   enamel   

first   was  in a  battered
rusty    cup

rear   of   the   room

finished   setting   the 
for   ten
at   the other   end
