As she went along, Alice felt

the heavy gate of night close behind her. She

wondered if it were locked, and if

she would ever

find her way back through it to daylight. Ahead,

she could see very little.

She lay down on the damp ground and looked up.

Stars pulsed like tiny flares reflected in a sea, illuminating nothing.

Everything is suspended but changing, she thought.

She pulled at a damp blade of grass.

Nowhere-never droned around her

and blew on her skin.

A spray

of notes, or motes, issued into the air.

A nervous watery breath

lifted stray hairs

and set them out on the grass.

Perhaps, she thought, I am dissolving.

She began to hum. The Moon appeared,

exhaling a trail of thin cloud.
