Sophie's Journal — October 1960

“October 18, 1960 The light this month is the color of something I cannot name. It comes through the kitchen window at four in the afternoon and lies on the table in a long rectangle that moves as the hour passes, sliding off the edge of the table and onto the floor and then the wall, and by five it is gone, and the kitchen is just a kitchen again, and I am just a woman standing in it.”
