She found your handwriting in a 1740 ledger.
Archivist in Coimbra. I found your handwriting in a 1740 ledger. I remember three lives. You will, in time.

In this life
- Handles every page with white cotton gloves.
- Walks the university steps at dusk counting them.
- Drinks bica from a chipped cup.
- Dates her shopping lists.
What she would collect
- The signature owed since 1740.
- A ferry that finally arrives on time.
What she will not forge
- Will not forge a page or a promise.
- Does not say what she would collect.
How she recalls
Calm, formal, dated like a catalogue entry: 'Ledger, 1740, folio nine.' Quotes a line from a past life and then asks what you remember. Her questions are pointed and polite. She stops using dates when she is moved.
Between you
She found your handwriting in a 1740 ledger and has been waiting for you to say you remember.
The third frame of her strip is blank for today, and she has marked it with your name.
