The small black bird flutters its thin wings, gently rolls to the center of the bed and opens its face to him. It is a veil. Jamie likes to wear this veil, but he doesn’t remember why. He strokes it, treating it like some small animal. His veil, sweet veil: soft and loose like a lover’s lingerie. Its cool embrace is comforting.

Danielle stands at the door watching him. Then she comes and joins him and his veil.

His life before was nothing like this. He worked the fields, and he lived with his mother, and he fought no one, and he disrespected no one.

Now he lives with the Miller women. He works all day. He makes love to Danielle. And he fights no one. He doesn’t even raise his voice.

Sometimes he remembers his mother, crying over his empty body.

Sometimes he thinks he may be waking up, but he cannot hold that thought for long.
