‘Ah there she is’, he says, ‘Ah there she is.’ She’s come, and so an opening in space appears, and in she steps, and every face now turns to hers. The hall is hers. Now his eyes recede within him to the dark, to settle in above the scene, and glow like soft light on a painting. Here below she seems to bask while moving in an arc, both warmed and warming. Still, there is behind her eyes a soft disquiet, as if she had lost track of herself, now left to blindly grope amidst the smear of faces. She scans the unreflecting eyes. And then the cell phone lenses rise, and then she is turned into each, with each, and calm descends. Ah there she is. She sighs. Ah there she is.
