As Nadirah sang, her voice grew bolder, her mouth wider, until at last she was dancing with happiness, her arms above her head, her eyes wide with some vision of herself dancing. She spun around, and I had to quickly duck under the windowsill.

And then, bent like a little old man, I ran out of the courtyard and all the way to my father’s garage.

I hear Nadirah’s song even now, and my heart breaks in my own throat. But when I open my eyes, it is still Dasha Cohen I see—and in my ears nothing but her tortured breath. Is this your song, Dasha Cohen? Is this your dancing? Around her bed are all kinds of shapes and chimeras, jinns and demons, strange sea creatures and spirits, dim and sickly, like blighted wheat. And the whole world seems to me cast in shades of ocher, as if I am looking through a window whose shade is drawn.
