Mable: The feeling of civilization is burning off; meanwhile, it’s so humid, the sky is melting
into the lake. Yesterday, I fell asleep on the dock listening to hiccupping waves and rustling
cottonwood leaves after watching shafts of light cut through the water, sifting memories to the
surface. —WW
