Twinkling eyes and beating wind
seated on the carved stool she sorted them
spread before her on the wobbly wooden work bench
sliding them into small groupings after careful inspection
here
here
and you go here
no here
yes there
she was pleased
the soiled ones were on the far right almost absent her vision
She slid many there
cracked
rotten
those she slid to the back
the furthest away
shiny ones
bitter ones
too too tiny ones
little piles
spread there and there and there
and there
storm
threatening early
clouds absent
the electric smell warning
the pressure
her skin
her dripping eyes
the first sounds now gatherings
as the chill was entering her legs
more she slid
slide
slide
little piles heaped
'til done
shutting the window against moisture sunk air
she reached top shelf by standing oh highest piled book
folded in dusty velvet
she brought down
what it was she kept up
there
away from common piles
safe from sorting
she released...
dancing air
and musing whispers
twinkling eyes and the sound
nothing but the sound
of the beating wind

I'm often pleasantly surprised how you take the simplest of activities, and fill them with depth in meaning. You use that to enable us to see the heart and mind of a person.
