first Erzulie, then Rosalyn. Avicus takes a deep breath, bracing herself, knowing she is about to spill the most words she has in a very long time—perhaps ever, even from before her tongue's demise.

fren', she begins. her indigo eyes scan the horizon, then she pauses, nodding toward the distant mountains. a boy. have him. i. . .muh' geh' him backh.

the last word was difficult, but important. help him, Avicus says, and brings her muzzle sharply down to her own sternum, gesturing toward herself. i wih' be backh.

her gaze finds the two women, seeking, imploring. she is not asking for permission, only for understanding.

she will be back.

where else is there to go?
but see, amid the mimic rout,
a crawling shape intrude —
a blood-red thing that writhes from out
the scenic solitude
