tribute # 254 - Sofia

spoke Italian, French, Somali "and English little bit".
war-widow, raising her kids selling cloth –
numeracy she's got, and guts to pursue options.
In her 60s immigrating, learning written language. 
coy self-conscious covering her chestnut irises
 rimmed with blue, sombre, studying.
