lycra cladded
through insulated glass
she watches, sweating
building up
muscles twitching,
dreaming, tripping,
flashing lamplights,
dwindling day,
joggers sleep
but she lies,
largely
unmoved
awake.
Next day,
she muddies
her trainers
in the garden,
returns indoors,
refills her bottle
and sits at the
window, waiting.
