then she speaks
On her lap
papers shake
wrinkled, twisted
curled and unfurled,
slightly damp
from energized hands.
Underneath
knees bounce,
heels glance floors
in erratic rhythms.
Above the waist
everything remains calm,
stillness before silence
before storm,
then she speaks.
Poetic Asides
The challenge was to write about an event.
