I wake up early, carry Maeve from the bed to the living room, let Lili sleep in. Maeve smiles at the daylight, at the shadows crossing the brick wall outside the kitchen window. She seems happy that the sun came back. It’s so simple. At dusk she looks in terror out the windows, seemingly confused by the darkness, by where everything goes. In this she is like me—I smile in the morning, and as the day progresses I get more and more confused by everything coming at me. Overstimulated, they call us. At sundown she cries, simple as that. “Nothing you can do that isn’t done,” I sing to her, swaying slowly around the kitchen with her in my arms—“nothing you can sing that isn’t sung.”
