Waiting, now, for the day Lily died to be over, but for some reason that day will not stop.
White is for witching, a colour to be worn so that all other colours can enter you, so that you may use them. At a pinch, cream will do.
I read about the soucouyant, the wicked old woman who flies from her body and at night consumes her food, the souls of others—soul food!—in a ball of flame. At dawn she returns to her body, which she has hidden in a safe place.
