Evening Indigo

She looks away from the steaming kettle away from baked apples the warm spice smells of an old  New England house the napping  old house cat the old woman  herself now the  insider looking outside  into the chill. No one stares back into her fading eyes no one no longer to covet her  inner pinkness. She is a reverse peeping Tom a solitary welcoming party and no one no longer left out there to welcome home.

Additional Notes:
I tried this with minimal punctuation, hopin the line breaks and line widths could help with the flow and the sense. I really fought with myself about this.
