Waiting out the rain
She hunkers down
In the narrow dryness
Of a doorway’s eaves
She hunkers down
In the narrow dryness
Of a doorway’s eaves
On her way
To Hanoi’s mobile market
A vibrant gesticulation
Of colour and sass
Gentle salesmanship
And meagre means
In a country
Simple enough
On the surface
Enigmatic
On a second glance
Unfathomable
To casual visitors
Like me
