Author note/1: Prompt fill for the October challenge.

I will not carry
the weight of blood-stained sea foam
into a new age.
Pitch laughter against long grief—
let no Wolf Lord silence you!


Author note/2: This is a companion piece to a drabble written for a SWG challenge (which is here), but I think can be understood without it.
