Ramona stretched out her legs and looked across the road at the old village office. It looked no different to her than it ever had, a neglected building of mud and boards that was of no use to anyone. Someday soon, it would collapse in on itself. Ramona thought that if she closed her eyes, she would see the structure without the sag in the roof and with the walls newly mudded. She would see snow drifted against the walls, trails of footsteps, and the dim glow of a kerosene lamp. Past the building, she could see much of the village of Guadalupe. She could see how the village was settled in a small valley at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, how the creek, lined with full growth, meandered through the center of the valley, and how the maze of smaller ditches, like arteries, branched off from it through fields of alfalfa. She could see the roof of Flavio’s house, where she was born, where her parents had lived. From far behind her in the field, she heard the sound of her brother’s voice. The sun was shining through the branches of the cottonwood, and she could feel its heat upon her face.
