       Dedication

      For Bompa

       Epigraph

      The baby lived inside a world that was smaller and older where they still traveled by carriage and spoke a bawling language.

      

      Bompa

      

      The bawling language was small and died inside the baby and inside the bodies of everybody who could hear it.
