gone.

not one gone, but three.

ephraim, rhakios, kierkegaard.


how could a storm take so much from her?

caiaphas shook first with horror, then rage, then an obscene and weary sadness. the storm had washed much of the scent away, but the trail of the patriarch's pawprints remained; a set deep in the furrows of mud by the bank, and no rejoining sets on the opposite side.

no scent on either bank; not a twig bent back nor a claw on the rock to tell the story of kierkegaard's disappearance, nor of ephraim's kidnap. 

when she returned, only @Svalinn and @Raleska remained.

disconsolate and beyond words, the matriarch threw back her head and a keening, sorrowful scream rent the skies before she collapsed in a silent heap besides her two remaining children.
this house was my flowered heart,
but my petals have fallen.
