The woman hangs from the 13th floor window crying forthe lost beauty of her own life. She sees thesun falling west over the grey plane of Chicago.She thinks she remembers listening to her own lifebreak loose, as she falls from the 13th floorwindow on the east side of Chicago, or as sheclimbs back up to claim herself again.
