The air is saturated with the red sunset. Tiny blonde hairs dance up and down in the light over her back, down her legs, the hollows behind her knees, this Brownian jittering ... a gaze bitter like alkaloids, nitrogenous and seething ... she subliminates into the sky.
And what did she have to say? Was she there at all? walking zombie-like while the Earth turned and her Circadian cycle with it, tilting to and fro? a cosmic bobblehead doll? And how far was too far?
She nudges a sheep's corpse well on its way to decomposition. Inside and all around it there are millions of microorganisms that are unmaking. Some Georgia O'Keefe display.
Of course when looking into its eyes, there is nothing. But a few weeks ago those hollows would've had mild eyes. Dumb rheumy eyes that dreamed herbivore dreams.
Bailey sneezes; she lands on her butt and sits there, for a while.
