Ouroboros Spine apittuk ⦆

the days went on and sakhmet did not return.

kukutux brought @Galana out of doors with her and settled to a small pile of new deer-hides. "we will scrape them," she said to the girl, demonstrating with her teeth how to peel gristle from one side.

the boys tumbled and played.

"and then i will ask firsthunter and the husband of the starwoman to come and help me take these to the lake."

one day galana would know all these words. for now, kukutux spoke as if he did. and shortly moonwoman began a working chant.

where is the fox?
he hides in the forest
where is the deer?
he hides with the fox!
our hunters find them
our hunters chase
but the deer hides his antlers,
and the fox hides his face
