From out of her body streams a flood now of different creatures, octopuses, reindeer, kangaroos, ‘Who can say all the life/ That left her womb that day?’ Squalidozzi can only catch a glimpse of the amazing spill as he bears her back toward the surface. Above, it is a mild and sunlit green lake or pond, grassy at the banks, shaded by willows. Insects whine and hover. The key color now is green.
