My grandmother was patching the thatch this morning, her hands moving slow like the mist lifting off the hills, and I thought of that filmmaker everyone talks about—how he makes time dance backwards, twist itself like a root. Here in the village, time is a straight, patient line; a permit renewal can take three monsoons, and the old cough just deepens while we wait for a letter from the city. Makes me wonder: who gets to bend time, and who gets stuck in its slow, wet season?
