ADIK

Adik heads up to Kinomagewapkong at dusk. They tie a string to the voice recorder, press play and lower it between the sides of the big crevice. Adik smiles. Tonight when Akiwenzii lies down and puts their ear to the rock, things will be as right as they can be — just like before the zhaganash built the building and choked off the creek. Akiwenzii will hear the water. Akiwenzii will hear the world.

SABE

At dusk, after a day in the city, Sabe rides their bike to Tommy Thompson Park. They are not watching the birds, though. They watch this oddball kid who is obsessed with birds — a boreal owl in the winter, and in the summer, any one of the fifty nesting species in the park. The kid has a deep red glow about them, like an ancestor stone when they are about to come out of the fire and into the lodge. Asin is an odd duck to be sure. They have all the usual equipment — phone, bird books, notebooks, but they don’t do any of the same things the other birders do, and this is why Sabe is drawn to them. They sort of just sit and feel. Sometimes, late at night, they build the tiniest of fires and fall asleep. This is when Sabe shows up to rub Asin’s back.
