A Corner of Blue

by Eleanor Dart, Pima Friends Meeting
 
Off center, key puzzle
pieces lost in dust
under couches, beds
the tumble of closets
 
In the mirror grey
mist her eyes evade
losing glasses
keys, language
 
She stands slow.
Why am I here?
Did I want something?
Looks down at her hands.
 
Two cats snooze
on worn patchwork.
At the windows edge
a corner of blue.
