INTERVIEWING THE QUEEN: The Ring

There will come a space when Evelyn will turn. She’ll touch a yellow bird, or watch a squirrel crack a seed. Or maybe the sight of a single blossom, or the thought on one clear night that even the stars will die.

She’ll put the ring on her finger and we’ll come. And she’ll keep her house and tend her garden and everything will change, the way it’s always been.
