rose, not as a ruler, but as a ghost. It turned the amber to ash and the copper to pale silk. Where the Sun demanded growth, the Moon offered stillness. The wheat field became a map of shadows, each ear of grain etched in charcoal against the glowing dust of the soil. The air grew thick with the song of crickets, and the stalks, no longer straining upward, seemed to lean together, whispering secrets gathered from the day’s heat. Between the two, the Wheat Field
