She stands under a gas lit lantern-

             in the

                           f
                             a
                               l
                                 l
                                   i
                                     n
                                        g

                                                  rain
                                                        .
                                                           .
                                                              . 
she is so  W E A R Y - 
 
                      a car stops 
            and silently she gets in-
                             she will give her body
to survive-

How very creative this is, Constance, both in content and presentation. I can feel her sad weary mood of resignation. Congratulations on your podium finish. Regards // paul
