She was back, the dress tonight was pale blue, sequins instead of the usual fringe, making her look rather like the back of an Alhambra truck. Not that she knew it. Didn't have those in her where and when.
Just at the moment she was perched on the windowsill, head tilted against it to watch the chaos outside, singing softly: "Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow,
Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning,
For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning,
To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away the pain of knowing, fill the emptiness with light
Emptiness with light now."
It had the cant of a shanty, one of the low, slow, dirgelike ones.
