Outside, he showed me a tobacco setter — the implement the tractor pulls to dig out holes for the plants — now hunched in the gray patter of the rain. Shivering, we looked at each other. "It's fat cold," Ralph said. We got back in the truck and left Charlie's farm. Around us, the land shone with a steel luster. Suddenly, Ralph said, "Let's go in here." We were approaching the end of a road that merged with another road running per- pendicular, but we didn't turn. We kept going straight, right up an embankment, rollicking across the earth, and around the biggest barn I'd seen yet. Ralph was telling me the barn belonged to him, but he rented it to Charlie. Ten we went in, and Ralph was quiet. We both were. Hushed, we drifted forward, as if coming upon a candlelit vigil. Bundles of tobacco sticks bound with twine lay scattered across the dirt foor. Rain mur- mured through the soaring interior, and the wind that blustered in between the planked walls blew up the carpet of rotted tobacco shreds, twirling around our feet. I looked up. A pool of pale light hovered in the air like the glow of a lantern hanging in an old church. I suddenly remembered an evening 15 years ago, when I was working at that landscaping crew in Middletown and Matt picked me up, and he and his son and I went arrow- head hunting in a tobacco feld. Barefoot, we each stood with a row separating us, and Matt called, "All right, now! Don't y'all run ahead!" Ten we started, treading side-by- side through the rustling leaves, scanning the ground for pointed fecks, while overhead the clouds of dusk faded into the darkening trees. Staring up through the darkness, I seemed to see him now from years before — imagin- ing the doors fung open and the gold pulse of August pouring into the barn, and the voices of the people calling to each other in those photos in the book that June and Vivian had shown me, and Matthew with his mane of hair and his shirt of, balanced on the matrix of rails near the roof, yelling and joking and reaching down to take the tobacco sticks from the boys on the stilts below him… Ten a bird fapped in the rafters, and the vision faded, and I listened as it sent a cry through a dimness scented with wet wood and motes of tobacco.
