I know a kite maker who knits kites from numbers. The month or the day, he hardly remembers. The kites that he builds do not really fly, but carve criss-cross symbols across the sky.

The kids in the village gaze all day long, at beautiful patterns that never go wrong. It's tastefully intricate and mildly bold, footnoted by curious scripts centuries old.

When it gets dark, his marvels fade out. The kite maker packs up for another route. Filling his wake, we shout "one more kite!", but he dons his cloak and slips out of sight.
