"The final blessing also comes through the old woman's mouth. She wets you with her lucky saliva. You feel her mouth on your hair, her rough open hands on your ears. She presses your head between her hands. Good luck be with you, she says. And then disappears, swallowed up by the crowd." Luis Devin, The Forest Has You.
