TOLD IN THE EAST
Hookum Hai
A Blood-red sun rested its huge disk upon a low mud wall that crested
a rise to westward, and flattened at the bottom from its own weight
apparently. A dozen dried-out false-acacia-trees shivered as the
faintest puff in all the world of stifling wind moved through them;
and a hundred thousand tiny squirrels kept up their aimless scampering
in search of food that was not there.
A coppersmith was about the only living thing that seemed to care
whether the sun went down or not.
