Night milling. The sluice is already cold. Only the mill lamp is yellow. Mila is thirty-eight, miller, a married woman. Her husband's farm is at harvest.
She will not leave the millstone cover. “Don't stop the wheel.” Walk out through the sacks and the night ends as sacks. Close the shutter and it stops being sacks.
