A single second set against all of time makes her seem not like residue but like a living reed inside the grass.
The page is brief, but it does something subtle with duration. Time is presented as an enormous turning field, and against that scale one incident is enough to shift the image of a person from leftover remainder to something rooted, slender, and alive.
