How many months, years now, has she scoured the countryside for traces of her lost
loves? She's leaning more, day by day, toward trails bordered by nothing
more copious than vegetation, devoid of signposts to a life where everyone just learned
the roles they were expected to play, then passed these down to whoever came
after them. How many rule books have been broken, how many rituals
revised? Let those who don't wish to be found remain in their kingdom
of braided walls. Let her choose to inhabit her own time, stop hanging gauze in each tree;
let her eat and drink simply, sleep and wake while she can, walk by the water under the moon.
