Ouroboros Spine To all things housed in her silence

kausiut, gone to the walrus hunters.

sialuk, gone from moonspear.

samani and ariadne, gone to Sedna. galana, disappeared. vaire, sick. wilwarin; distantly felt.

and her granddaughters; nasamiituuq, ikniqpalagaqï, yulralria, nantahala, nutuyikruk, akmaaksi, maggak, kaujimaq.

only ajei and tiuttuk remained.

when solharr called, kukutux searched for what she knew in the notes of his voice. beneath silence's cloak she joined the man.

if callyope breathed no more, he would have called.

what emptiness clung to him now? she let out her breath, waiting.
