Drops of water fell on the red blanket and

soaked into dark icy spots. [Father Paul]

sprinkled the grave and the water

disappeared almost before it touched the

dim, cold sand; it reminded him of

something - he tried to remember what it

was, because he thought if he could

remember he might understand this. He

sprinkled more water; he shook the

container until it was empty, and the water

fell through the light from sundown like

August rain that fell while the sun was still

shining, almost evaporating before it

touched the wilted squash flowers.
