ragged brown paper bag; took out two little blue- tablets, and placed them on his tongue. But could the idea of flying have ever been transformed into a being with her without break- ing wing? She was maybe a person touched only by water and its sexuality's slow tide; For her nothing was projected prediscription, which made meaning per- manent. Her ancestors must have seen lava close the gap between the sensations of God; now she seemed to represent the religion of the angles; In terms of the time he witnessed himself within, he didn't know which was better for the eyes. Maybe if she would have been bewitched he would have stayed with her, but at least with her the past was not a whip; and in the conscience of her black eyes; about the goal of tomorrow app- eared a tight naked wonderment.

Blue tablets, flying, water, sexuality, and a religion of angles recast the woman as a figure beyond ordinary prescription and fixed meaning.

The page turns Animal's small physical act into a metaphysical question about whether flight can be transferred into intimacy without damage. The woman is imagined through water, lava, God, and angles, so her presence feels both sensual and unreachable. His attraction remains tied to the impossibility of staying with her and to the troubling wonder in her black eyes.
