Analect2.596x



21 October 2009. Cool and gray, autumn.

Ying behind the sliding window of pool booth, page of science under incandescent lamp. Lifts her head, smiling.

"I watched you grow up. In a chrysalis, at the old pool...". Open look. "You know, what the butterfly's in before it becomes a butterfly..." Another smile...

Silver light on October waves, reflected on wide low-tide sands. Two figures walking on the beach below, in the distance--one of them in orange. Slight breeze. A woman's weathered face appears at top of stairs--the bather.

Faces and lives...
