They continue to walk across the parking lot, while occasionally a soft wheeze, a nibbling breathy sound like an old horse might make, divulges their humanity.

They move, methodically, toward the baseball stadium, which hulks against the moon-blue sky like a small mountain.

Beneath the tint of scarlet, the tall light standards which rise above the fences and grandstand glow purple, necks bent forward like sunflowers heavy with seed.

My other daughter lives in this city, is married to a fan, but one who watches baseball from behind third base.

And like marrying outside the faith, she's been converted to third base side.

They have their own season tickets, 12 rows up, just to the outside side of third base.

I love her, but I don't trust her enough to let her in on my secret.

I could trust my granddaughter, but she is too young.

At her age, she shouldn't have to face such responsibility.

I remember my own daughter, who only lives in Japan.

Remember her at nine, all knees, elbows, and missing teeth.

Remember peering into her room,

seeing her asleep, a shower of well-thumbed baseball cards scattered across her chest and pillow.

Maggie, who knew me when I still dreamed of playing professionally myself, Maggie, after over half a lifetime together, comes and sits in my lap in the comfortable easy chair which has adjusted through the years to my thickening shape, just as she has.

I love to hold the lightness of her, her tongue exploring my mouth gently as a baby's finger.

She asks sleepily when I crawl into bed at dawn.

I mumble a reply.

I know she doesn't sleep well when I am gone.
