pieces of ivory;

agana.

agana.

pale arms wended, and for a long time she only held the still body to the thrum of her heart, eyes caught in a vacant stare.

agana.

now in the purple riot of lavender beneath the three sisters, agana lay softly arranged in the earth, though kukutux had not yet forced herself to cover that quiet face with any dirt.

too familiar these words.
