It was night and mosquitoes.
She could not remember if they like light or dark and so stood on the edge of shadow.
He leaned toward water. He leaned himself toward rock.
He whispered dim words. He whispered church whispers, sounds of a darker, other, place.

He seemed a man other than himself.
He seemed a man he did not know.
