"Then she stood a while longer, reflecting,
her unseeing eyes directly in front of the peacock's tail.
He had jumped into the tree and his tail hung in front of her,
full of fierce planets with eyes that were each ringed in green
and set against a sun that was gold in one second's light
and salmon-colored in the next. She might have been looking
at a map of the universe but she didn't notice it any more than she did
the spots of sky that cracked the dull green of the tree." |
