She happened to see something brown moving down by the end of the driveway, past the barberry hedge. She looked again, squeezing her eyes, then pushed her glasses away from the always sensitive grooves they made in the bridge of her nose. There was a tall man, a soldier, and she wondered why he turned from the road and came walking up their driveway, a bulging canvas suitcase in his hand.
A soldier, she thought. What is that soldier coming here for? The day was bright, the light hard, and leave
...s blew past her eyes as she watched him. The maples were red and gold, and here came this soldier, out of place on their street. He waved. Suddenly she recognized him by his gesture as she hadn’t by his face, and it was her child in the dangerous foreign clothing. Wood, her firstborn, who had shed all of his need for her, piece by piece, and now came back, big as a man in clothes she hadn’t chosen for him. He set down his bag and came toward her over the grass, smiling, all blurred by her tears.MoreLess
