NOW, HAVING MADE LOVE, he nestled his chin over the back of her head and his hands cupped her breasts, which rose and fell with the rhythm of her breathing. Slowly, his breath fell into rhythm with hers, and he began to dream of water.

A stream rose up in his dream. First as a metronomic dripping, a lovely tenor with a hollow core and a melodic rippling, each ripple a blossom, until the blossoms were a field swaying with the chorus of dripping, a pleasant rain shower or a night full of tree frog song. Then everything went into motion and he and Beah were drifting on a river, moving in the moonlight and through air heavy with the scent of summer rain, swinging around the stones, sliding down the riffles, and floating across the flats. In the distance were the silhouettes of willow oaks and sycamores. The slanting moonlight shone like silver paint of the old bridge that crossed the Tombigbee, just down the road from Jacks's Plantation. They were floating on the Tombigbee, the so-called undertakers’ river for the Indian undertakers who used to live on it. He chuckled to himself when he recognized where they were in the dream, first by the old bridge where the road ran into town, and then by the little Tupelo swamp, and then they were in the big bend. They could meander all the way down to Mobile on this river. He had never been to Mobile. He had heard it was a great city, something like Chicago. From here, he was dreaming, they could go anywhere, he and Beah, to New York City or to the moon, or to anywhere in between.
