The Fork in Their Tongues

The Fork in their Tongues. Story: She had heard these words before; had heard the tone of the voices that speak through one of the forks in their tongues.

"Beyond their flat voices and waving pens, the sun broke through the heavy sky and cast light onto the face of my Mother. I watched a small herd of buffalo light up and become spirit."
