“She’s only forty-two, which, okay, when she was twelve seemed like one foot over the threshold into God’s waiting room, but now, living it, is an age that makes her feel no different than she always has.

“As if every animal a human brain has ever seen, it has swallowed. We find their outlines, as if on Ouija boards, in mountains and in clouds. We scratch the arcs of their trunks in the dirt with our feet, or use the sharpest tools available to dig them from shocks of wood. Give us a stick and we’ll draw them. Find a discarded antler on the steppe and we’ll locate them in its tines. Hit a rock on a cave wall until it yields one. Spread them out across the night sky and we’ll point upward. See how they twinkle as they move?”
