Morning’s gusts beneath her dress, on her bare thighs and hips as she washes her buttocks, her hands, her face in rivers and ponds.

Her limbs’ exhaustion after days’ worth of walking and portaging.

The trickle of warm water, from her lips on the leather drinking pouch to her belly, when night falls and snowmelt sputters on the brush-fed fire. At the same time, crickets, frogs, cicadas; evening’s echoes replace those of the day. That hour of calm when sounds cohabit.

Noé doesn’t shut her eyes. To do so would mean she’d have to order them to close — lower her eyelids, join them together — but she is neither present nor able. Her lashes remain half-open, her mouth too, soft, round; the simple pressure of the shaft is enough to cause her lips to part even more.
