She was an old photograph dusted from an album

The silence was so immense and unbelievable that you felt your ears had been stuffed
or you had lost your hearing altogether. The children put their hands to their ears. They stood apart.
The door slid back and the smell of the silent, waiting world
came into them. The sun came out. It was the color of flaming bronze and it
was very large. And the sky around it was a blazing blue tile color. And the jungle
burned with sunlight as the children, released from their spell, rushed out, yelling into
the springtime.

with the drum and gush of
water, with the sweet crystal fall of
showers
and the concussion of storms
