he moves up the mountain like a packhorse,crunching many small sticks and branches underfoot.she rides on his shoulders like a child.she wears a child sized summer dress,and her bars legs are almost lost in his beard.her hair is almost a fluorescent yellow.she is still very bony,very white,very silent.She smells of her morning bath.on the mountains are countless birches:gray,gold,and the white,some of the young ones bending from last winters pitiless snows.there is not much shade here.birds scream from all directions.Earlene says,"i'm not like Roberta,you know."Beal grunts over a stone wall and crashes through fern and over soggy ground."i wish you were,"he says.her throat tightens.she holds down a garbled scream.they go into a dark pine grove and his boots hiss.they can hear brooke.a dragonfly tests Earlene's hait,then veers away.Beal walks slowly toward the brook.he carries her higher,higher,over a barbed wire.her yellow hair attracts another dragonfly.this one buzzes in Earlenes ear.she swipes at it.
