Egairia's Web

.
…browsing the net.......................................................................
Pahn comes upon a photograph
of Egairia
.......................................sitting with shades on
.......................................in a sling chair
her legs crossed....and reading

His perspective changes
.......................................and he comes to her with his children

She sits in her chair
by her tubular
............................segmented
glass house
a warm
............................gentle sea
...................................................................lapping all around her

She ignores Pahn..............................................

He wants to touch her..................................
but can’t touch her......because
..................................she does not look at him through the net
So he hugs his children
....................instead...............cavorting with them in the
........................................................salty tepid murk of health
........................................................and fertility that
...........................................................................surrounds her page

He sends her an e-mail.................................................................
to which
.....................................................she responds unexpectedly
........................................friendly
........................................caring
and he remembers
............................suddenly
that she has sent an e-mail before
.........................................................................which he read and
forgot
.........................and now

going back and finding it
he sees she was
.........................sweet.............contented
