She in her house

 

She in her house

converses a lot:

asks questions, answers them;

debates, argues;

always wins

the argument.

Her decor spare;

a tidy mind,

all planed to her liking,

stores pat;

a trim house.

Coming, going from her door

with the working hours;

has friends,

keeps them separate;

eventually they disappear.

She might be seen

passing a window,

then another;

always seems she’s looking

for something.

Early morning sun

in the front,

late evening round the back;

she in her house: 

a stone in a box.
