Unfamiliar
A woman – her hair protected in a headscarf
raincoat warm
a plastic bag in her pocketed arms
The puddle on the zebra crossing
only just recovered from a drive through
Her silhouette
exists only
as the moment passes
Flagged on the blue, red and white paving slabs
the portrait of her imagined self
flatters as the unfamiliar
A car approaches
