‘The moon will show you where the dead have been,’ your grandmother said, stirring a pot of soil and silver. That was the first lesson you remembered clearly. The others came like dreams — the taste of grave dirt on your tongue, the way your shadow stretched longer under a waning moon. You learned to listen to the ground, and the ground learned your name.
