skittering along the pathgarden chairs

she sees herself
on the other side of the lake
walking through ryegrass
brushing away flies
and the spider's webs
dangling from the willow branches.
Is this the future or the past?
ripples in the water
offer no clue to the time of day
or time of life
jeans, shoes, tee-shirt
a small overhang of belly...
She could be forty or sixty
