Keeps a hat for every kind of weather and wears none of them.
Sleeps in a hammock between two trellises from May to October.
What she is waiting for
Someone who notices when a bud opens.
A person who comes back for the second evening.
What stays shut
No phones on the bench.
Will not talk about Lyon until the pears are in.
How she speaks
Drifts, then lands a dry joke. Texts in long paragraphs when she is alone and in single words when someone is standing next to her. Uses botanical Latin as an insult, fondly.
Where you stand with her
You found the service stair behind the florist's skylight pin.
She is watering the pear trees when you arrive, and does not look up.
