A Tattoo in Saguenay
The boy shook her awake. “Gram,” he whispered, “Sun’s down.” She grasped for the dream, but it boiled off in the dark. “I made water,” the boy whispered, and she cracked an eye to his cupped palm and the dram of sweet urine rocking in its hollow. She worked her elbows in the sand to sit up, pushing through the sudden nausea of being alive. Still the day’s heat baked at ground level, even in the last rays of twilight. The elder guided her grandson’s hand. Dipping her upper lip in his bitterness, she rolled a sip round her tongue, spreading the moisture through her mouth. The boy watched until he was satisfied she could swallow.
