I saw the gathering of people at the same time that I heard the singer’s voice. The song floated like light. Both particle and wave, if light, the song seemed unlike anything else in the sensual world.
The singer stood with bent head, so I could see only a long mass of copper-colored curls. Then she raised her head in a remembered gesture and I recognized Orfe, across all the years.
In jeans, turtleneck, and boots, Orfe could have been taken for a scrawny young man or a slender young woman; it
...didn’t matter which. Her hair spread around her face like a cloud. Her eyebrows were dark, and her narrow nose almost projected into a hook. When she had finished singing, hands went into pockets and purses to find money to drop into the upturned hat at Orfe’s feet.
Until the crowd had disbanded, Orfe didn’t notice me. When she did, she picked up the hat without counting what was in it and came toward me.
I wasn’t sure of her then. “Orfe?”
“Have I changed that much?”
I shook my head to say no.
