mourners gather around the fire to honor those passed away consanguines have the duty to dissect prepare decorate affines take the burden to devour the flesh of the ones that they held dear within their hearts familiar body pieces that may have once caressed now to be served for consumption as they have to submit the beloved body for dismemberment grief intensifies a fevered chorus of keening and crying ritual method to keep spirit from lingering several days of decay made the corpse so putrid stench so overwhelming legs and arms dead and neck placed on sticks reluctantly devoured eaters of the dead heart and liver wrapped in leaves to be roasted genitals and intestines thrown onto the fire mournful feast continues throughout the night until the flesh is entirely cannibalized pathways erased scenery soon altered to avoid memories of the deceased house burnt to the ground belongings destroyed names to never be spoken again
