[se] an eternity of other things

MELITA

Nuisance was an understatement, and though Melita could’ve proclaimed multitudes on the notions, Hadama had other things to do – so did she, really. “Good luck!” And she nodded along with his other commendations, while she tended to her satchel, companion, and goodies. Rising from the canals, and back to meandering tendencies, a hum under her breath and stoked dedications remaining in her prestige.

Eventually, she’d wind her way back to Aumakua as promised, and along the familiar pathways she’d leave a trail of pastry crumbs for the spirits that would glide along cliff tops and above ranges of the sea. And some croissants specifically for Ludo too, upon her doorstep.

This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
