She watches<\/p>\n
first the sunlight<\/p>\n
across his face<\/p>\n
while he sleeps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He stirs<\/p>\n
and finally moves<\/p>\n
as the bright rays<\/p>\n
drive him from his resting place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Time<\/p>\n
minutes<\/p>\n
perhaps a hour<\/p>\n
the light shifts<\/p>\n
to another<\/p>\n
corner.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Until<\/p>\n
finally<\/p>\n
midmorning<\/p>\n
only shadows rest<\/p>\n
upon the walls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Time to go<\/p>\n
to work now.<\/p>\n
She thinks,<\/p>\n
someday<\/p>\n
she’ll only<\/p>\n
have the watching<\/p>\n
to do<\/p>\n
