it will get lighter
, something washing, cleansing, revealing, etc.
One of the birds shoots out of the tree.
I wonder if the birds knew I was watching?
She says something that isn't really right but isn't really wrong. I'm not taking in their words any more, just their voices, trying to get a feel for whatever is going on between them.

"Put a tut ahh put a-"
