She has spent the time thinking about her wedding day, tracing

the mark on her ankle where the serpent bit. It hasn’t healed yet;

perhaps it won’t until he comes back. She has never desired his

death, but wished for it as one wishes for rain.

The steep hill, where it led and couldn’t lead. So many times.

When he arrives he looks more tired than she can understand. The

lyre has vanished; they stand together silently.

Even as she remembers his face, she loses something else. She has

been alone so long now; how often she has stood here, how much

she has wanted to climb.
