One name (of the) only heard
of Laban’s eldest fear
her first heart afar
a width of water
—is all same is body
bearing and unlearned
for when am I to be
the girl I
was – a lone blessing
along Laban’s elder years
youngest eye
the primary listening
of the so-so foolish
warming winds she
carried on her
reach short
of an unrest
tilling the count
for each re-
tracted furrow
