Milka watches Benny
in the farmhouse field
practice judo
with her two brothers
she looks from her
bedroom window
through white
net curtains
sometimes it's karate
they practice
each one taking
on the other
with careful
blows or moves
she peers
as Benny moves
and her big brother
goes down
with a slight of hand
her other brother stares
standing back
thinking his next move
she bites her lower lip
fearing Benny’s fall
her big brother
gets to his feet all smiles
the other brother
moves in
and Benny
caught unawares
takes a fall
and Milka gasps
and heads turn
window wards
and she steps back
fearing to be seen
but they turn away
back to their judo
and she creeps back
to her bedroom window.
