Dance the Eagle to Sleep
“She had found him and led him out. She had found first him in the dark and then Marcus, but she could see. Marcus wanted to die too, he was so badly burned. Only Ginny did not want to die, and she did not want them to abandon their bodies. She held him gently, formally. Her belly kept him off. So long as he was blind, he felt neutered in his helplessness.
She was gentle with them both and angry at them. She would not love them, because they had not been willing to leave in time, because they ha...d not been willing to escape. She told them they were in love with apocalypse, like all men, more in love with myths than with any woman. But he felt suffocated. He thought of colors. If he could see only one color, any color, it would not matter which. Or if he could see in tones of gray, like an old movie. Or just light. He found it hard to sleep, now that it was always dark. She lay beside him, cradling him but unable to be touched, and she did not sleep either. Marcus moaned with pain.
They were a sorry family.MoreLess
