The day before Martin Burney lost his wife
Sara. he watched her walk away from him.
her long hair lifted at the edges by wind from the Atlantic,
A beauty-shop door shut behind her, flashing sun. Mar-
tin s eyes were as brown and cold as leftover coffee.
Ocean wind rattled a paper sign on the Beauty Corner
window as Martin drove away: MEN WELCOME. Sara said,
"Sara Burney," to a woman behind a counter and looked
around the new shop; it hadn t been there the summer
before.
EMOCLEW NEM the shop sign read from inside, backward:
the shop s green floor was scattered with sheared-off hair.
Sara walked to shampoo sinks in the wake of the beauty
operator whose name tag said. "Carmen."
"Maybe just a little rinse." Carmen said, and put a
green plastic cape around Sara s shoulders. Sara leaned
back in the shampoo chair and took a deep breath. She
could stay there for an hour and a half.
