seagull
raze
the
legend
goes
something
like
this
: seagull
kept
all
the
world's
light
in
a
box
beneath
his
wing.
the
other
animals
were
forced
to
feel
their
way
through
darkness
until
raven
found
seagull's hut.
she
cut
branches
from
a
thorn
bush
and
built
a
trail
that
led
to
the
sea
.
in
the
morning
, seagull
stepped
on
the
thorns
.
pain
and
surprise
loosened
his
grip
on
the
box
.
it
broke
open
when
it
hit
the
ground
.
he
watched
as
all
he'd hoarded
for
himself
seeped
into
every
dark
corner
.
it
belonged
to
everyone
now
.
raven
said
a
storm
must
have
blown
the
branches
down
,
but
seagull
knew
better
.
every
bird
that
bears
his
name
makes
the
same
sound
,
but
it
isn't
a
warning
or
a
cry
for
help
.
it's
a
song
they
sing
to
tell
us
where
the
light
came
from
,
and
to
remind
us
we
all
carry
our
portion
of
it
.
