she
said
.
she
ran
outside
in
socks
and
no
shoes
,
chasing
the
prelude
to
civil
twilight
in
her
own
backyard
.

the
other
side
of
the
longest international border
in
the
world
,
he
slid
his
feet
into
a
scuffed
pair
of
slippers
and
crept
over
the
cracks
in
his
driveway
.
he
saw
what
was
left
of
the
sun
, slung
low
in
the
sea
above
his
head
.

was
there
in
the
blushing
band
of
violet
that
flooded
his
night
with
something
more
than
light

airspace,
heavy
with
cloud
cover
,
framed
her
face
with
chimneys
and
trees
and
distant
power
lines
,
and
as
the
shoreline shrank,
she
grew
