## CORRECTION TO THE RECORD

The bruise is on Dan's RIGHT LEG. Shin to knee. Not forearm.
WRF-trained (Bainbridge Island, a few weeks prior). He hobbled back
to his car and administered first aid himself. It hurt immediately and bad.
Khul pants torn through on sharp wet rocks. Camera held above it all, safe.

O'Shin kissed Dan's SHIN.

The terrain writes its own panels.

## THE MEMORY IT OPENED

Dan's first time ever leaving Virginia: Oregon Coast, 2000.
His Aunt Bernice's wedding.

He and his brother ran down to the beach. Before they ran they wrote in the sand:

    BERNICE LOVES

And then they ran off to do kid stuff. Left it unfinished.
The ocean took the rest of the sentence.

## WHAT STAN HEARD

An A key story. First Beach energy.
The coast at the end of the wedge, where the land runs out.
A kid writing in the sand what the adults feel — then running.

He has been making things that name what others feel
and then running off to do kid stuff ever since.

The sentence is still there, in every song.
O'Shin holds it.
