if the weather clears
she will take the sea road
walk along cliffs
hang out near rocks
where seals swim with purpose
if the weather clears
she will tie a line
behind the chook shed
hang dirty washing
in the sun
she will smother weeds
walk to a neighbour’s house
slide her heart in her pocket
hide it under a red jacket
if the weather clears
she will smell the last rain
tie her hair in a scarf
catch the last train
leave a letter behind
