Meat
But bone is temporary; they await payday. When it arrives the next week, the tunnels are charged as if a storm
brews2 belowground. In the evening the mine boss appears on the
ridge3 like some odd, huffing star to set up his table. He
shuffles4 papers, stirs the
crate6 with its
pouches7 of coin. Counts, recounts. Lingers.
A string of miners ravels out, too long to see to its end. Minutes pass, an hour,
impatience9 twitching11 the line. Lucy sticks by Ba. She means to hold the proof of her work in her hands.
Stars are up by the time they reach the table. One glance at Ba and the mine boss tosses a
pouch8, already looking to the next man. Ba unfastens the drawstring right there and commences to count. The boss clears his throat again and again.
“It’s short,” Ba says, tossing the pouch back. Behind him men shift and crane,
murmur12 angrily.
“Rent for that fine house.” The boss
flicks13 up a finger. “Coal.” Another finger. “Your tools.” Another. “Your company-issue lantern.” Another. “And a girl earns one-eighth wages. Now git.”
Ba’s hands
clench14. The men behind
shuffle5 closer, begin to yell. Can’t you count, boy? Can’t see, more like. Not outta them eyes.
