The dejected heir of the shadow government must fight anomaly and illusion to redeem herself.
FAR BENEATH YELLOWSTONE, U.S.A.
The first thing I notice (first true thought in my resurrected body) is that the fighting looks like dancing.
CINEMA: FARM
Black on gorgeous azure-yellow-peach, the lazy slats of wood are one with the darkened earth. At this hour no imperfection endures, and nothing awful is blown out; because of this all sorts of perfect things are possible at dusk. The imagination is made numb to stupid detail, and great shapes which were always stretching in-between can come alive. Bird flocks meld with leaf and disappear into triangular hut, which sinks into the inky pool of the ground, but it all holds rigid and sways, girates, to degrees of difference crying at an entire incommensurable organism. This thing has bones, muscles, and a membranous skin (through which, I imagine, the bolus of matter in the form of the bird enters in), it has emotive swishing hair, long but then otherwise fuzzy and fairly cropped, and here I am: kicking stones in the fine gravel of its enormous surface, sustained gracefully by the ignorance of such an immense beast, blessed with the fortitude of a mite. Of what might in the extreme be known to him, I cannot say, but he would never pay a cent of mind to me.
All of this, simply forgotten once the months of twilight come to an end. My host is reborn in the dark; he breaks apart like the caterpillar, and I must cling to his pupa unperturbed for all the night. For all the night…
Greater things were forgotten than this, and they cannot be again alive. In here they are remembered, cyclical as the unceasing dream.
