She dreamed of water.
Her sleep was filled with blue. Above her was the gentler, dappled silver, the water skimmed with oars and feathers and silver fish that darted in and out of billows of light. Below her was the deeper, darker blue, cool and quiet, the weeds of the river bottom swaying in the current like a woman's dark hair.
She dreamed of the water holding her in its arms, of falling into those different blues and sinking into the quiet dark, bubbles of air rising from her still lips.
