““When darkness falls, and the sky sifts down into the river, the woman who swims in its depths holds on to the side of the canoe that drifts toward her. She pulls herself into the boat, where a tall man is waiting in the fading light, for he is an expert in matters of light and darkness, a master of seeing through shadows. He spies her every time, even when the sky is murky an she is invisible to all other men's eyes.””
