woebegone
raze
she
is
the
three
moths
he's
mashed
with
a
hollow
tomb
that
once
held
enough
facial
tissue
to
stem
the
tide
of
his
tears
for
a
time
.
the
last
of
the
latticed heaths survives
and
is
remade
as
a
reptile.
her
true
form
is
only
revealed
when
she
leads
him
to
the
fire
from
which
all
things
are
forged.
a
wolf
waits
in
the
wings
,
moaning
a
melody
he's
almost
sure
he's
heard
before
. remnant
of
some
sombre
song
his
ancestors
sang
when
all
was
wet
and
woebegone.
he
warms
his
hands
and
hums
along
while
kindling
kicks
against
the
weight
of
being
asked
to
burn
so
something_wild
might
flood
this
nascent
night
with
the
cruel
kiss
of
ephemeral
light
.
