Some evenings the wind drops at six and the lake goes flat. For twenty minutes the colours overhead are doubled at the surface, and the place becomes twice as much of itself. You stand at the rail because there is no reason to do anything else. The wind comes back. The ripple starts. The doubled hour has been put away. You go inside for dinner.
A volcano in the South Pacific reflected whole in water gone completely still at the end of a long warm day. The sky overhead is doing the same colours again, doubled, in the lagoon. Twenty minutes of stillness, two of everything for whoever is looking. By the time the wind comes back, the day is over.
Sits alongside Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro, or any book read by water that has stopped moving.
There are a few minutes after sunrise and a few before sunset when the sky stops being a sky and becomes a wash of colour. The light is no longer pointing at anything. The contrast disappears. The air seems to hold its breath. You are at the window with a coffee or at the edge of a beach with damp feet, and you do not move for a while, because you know how short these minutes are and how long the rest of the day is.
