I moved through the anvil shadows watching small waves oscillating jade to silver. There were fireflies like torches in the highest branches, and constellations burning on the waters back; the liquid loon quavered and carried like a blind man playing the saw,. I heard a woman's laughter, splashing. Frogs slept with their legs long as egrets in the golden spill at the water's edge. And I took up the blacklit flag of a man's shirt on the stones like a piece of Hansel's bread and spirited it away.
