Ankyra Sound [m] Our Lady of the Underground

She’d thought him a part of some sweet dream only hours ago, when the stars had twinkled above him. The breaking dawn now foreshadowed his departure as the earliest rays climbed over the mountains; at the brim of the ocean, the stars began to fade.

”I cannot see de sun yet,” She bargained. She took one last look at him and closed her eyes. ”Stay wid me until it warms my face….Den you may go.” She did not want to see him leave- so she would keep her eyes closed until the sun came in to replace his warmth.
