The southern rim of the sky glows to a deeper blue, to pale violet, to purple, then thins to grey.Â Slowly the wind falls, and the still air begins to freeze.Â The solid eastern ridge is black; it has a bloom on it like the dust on the skin of a grape.Â The west flares briefly.Â The long, cold amber of the afterglow casts clear black lunar shadows.Â There is an animal mystery in the light that sets upon the fields like a frozen muscle that will flex and wake at sunrise.”
