Wake
The little white flower offers its potency. Crush, bite. |
Crush, bite.
The cold rushes in on you. There is no light, no fruit, no imported summer. There are no lithe dancers. The shapes in the water aren't even fully visible, but they are not human, and they do not worship you. They are, at best, indifferent. Their dance is sincere in its fashion, however. They celebrate the fruits of the sea. They welcome the newly drowned. They look forward to a day when Dahut is as large and as populous as Paris or London, with streets and streets of wrecked vessels and lost cargoes.

Pleasant company
The dancers bear you company all the long afternoon. In their delightful, bubbling voices, your companions recount your merits and your charms, several of which you had forgotten.

Understanding
You see the long midsummer afternoon and the people celebrating. You see the deep sea and the drifting dead. If you listen you can hear the Songs of both at once. They do not harmonise; they produce some third Song between them.
