As in the old fable, a girl is left home alone and the wolf arrives. Are a bird, a naked body and an impotent ghost enough to save her? Outside, the wolves devour the world. The world is a very small bird, it sings and our mammalian bones, of a visionary girl, agree: It happened when I still understood what the animals said. It was the year my father was killed, the year of the tortoise and the wren, and the year a door was opened from under me.
