Ouroboros Spine arrii ⥈

backdated to june 25, the death songs for ariadne & kannoyak <3

death, again.

a daughter, again.

and the whetting rage cut itself on black anger inside kukutux, curdling her belly to gutwrenched sobs. for the last time, she held ariadne, slowly rocking as the purity of emptiness poured from her throat until the voice sank into hoarseness.

only aiolos was allowed near as kukutux laid their daughter upon soft skins inside the small dome of the death ulaq. 

her limbs shook. 

shining water girl! you died upon the lake. but there you cannot stay.

pathmaking man! you too cannot dance forever on the water.

it is time for you to leave, and kukutux fractured into another deluge of aching cries, unable to speak the words she did not want to say.

her shoulders were sharp points in the falling night.

it is time to leave this place of sorrow.

anguish, shimmering.

it is time to lift from flesh and walk to home.

do not be afraid. do not be afraid. our voices walk with you, beloved spirits.

but the rage had cracked her own to silence now on that first night.
