SCATTERED1 SORGHUM2 DANCES on Grandma’s face, one grain landing between her slightly partedlips to rest on flawless white teeth. As he gazes at her lips, which are gradually losing theircolour, Father
sobs3 ‘Mom,’ and his tears fall on her breast. She opens her eyes amid the pearlydrops of sorghum. Rainbows of colour, as though reflected off the pearls, are
embedded4 in hereyes. ‘Son,’ she says, ‘your dad?.?.?.’
‘My dad, he’s fighting.’
‘He’s your real dad?.?.?.’ Grandma says. Father nodds.
She struggles to sit up, but the movement of her body pumps streams of blood out of the twoholes.
‘Mom, I’ll go and get him,’ Father says.
She waves her hand and sits up
abruptly5. ‘Douguan?.?.?. my son?.?.?. help your mom up.?.?.?.
Let’s go home, go home.?.?.?.’
Father falls to his knees, drapes her arms around his neck, then stands up with difficulty, liftingher off the ground. Fresh blood quickly soaks his neck and
assails6 his nose with the
aroma7 ofsorghum wine. His legs tremble under the weight of her body; he staggers into the sorghum fieldas bullets whizz overhead. He parts the
densely8 packed plants, stumbling forward, his sweat andhis tears
merging9 with Grandma’s fresh blood to turn his face into a demented mask. Grandma isgetting heavier as the passing sorghum leaves lacerate him mercilessly. He falls, she falls on topof him. He strains to crawl out from under her, and after he lays her out on her back, she looksup, breathes a long sigh, and smiles weakly. Unfathomable mystery is embedded in that smile, aniron that burns a horseshoe brand into his memory.
