it looks like rain (person)

I remember when I first heard the phrase

the Near distance

I pictured her  

because it was her nature to spend hours sitting outside

searching the horizon without a word,  not expecting something

just there 

She said she was just taking in the Air

and would laugh if I called it Meditation, 

which she thought was nonsense

When it finally got dark,  sometimes she would stand up, stretching 

then a long exhale and a look West,

 as if she had missed something

As she walked inside

I cannot recall her saying a word
