hold the day. Warm. Glowing. Full. Thought to try again, placing the Spirals , ie pinning them "in place" But there was a breeze and they would not be taught No way around it; either on a wall or a floor. Am doing this when there was one of those moments when it's just suddenly Electric. He'd been turning to cut the curve in further and suddenly
i see both of them standing at the side of the tractor, standing but not standing, pushing against it as it is tilting against them. As it began to tilt he'd turned it off, jumped out and they are just standing there, pushing against it as it is leaning sideways. The Tension is palpable. It's going to fall. They are not big people and standing there, standing is not the word, leaning , pushing against this huge piece of equipment to keep it upright holding their breath there was dead silence and then i yelled…..RUN, just RUN and Alyssia said how she does in the calm way she says anything, GET IN IT and TURN IT ON. He darts around and does and she says TURN WHEELS STRAIGHT and GO…SLOW SLOW GO STRAIGHT STRAIGHT and he does and it does not fall. She is not crushed in front of her child's eyes. and it was over. He continued that curve, she continued to rake. I sat and stared, my mouth hanging open. We did not talk about it. Haven't yet.
