THE SQUONK
โBeing that cries at the drop of a tear.โ
The Squonk is sorrow herself โ the embodiment of sadness. A creature of rare elegance and melancholy, her capacity for compassion knows no bounds. When cornered, she has the unique ability to entirely evaporate in tears, thereby returning her salt to the earth
DESCRIPTION:
A moling dollop, ready for deduction. A sprung set of locks
A frothy and glittering body of water. A great salt lake
VOICE:
A sort of wail song
A soothing and wavering blubber
HABITAT:
Pennsylvania coal country. Minnesota forests
The night burns frosty moonlight. Sheโs retired
her empty, burrowed coal bed filled with tears
hemlocks point at tarry stars. A blackened
pollock swims in the pit of her mineshaft. Eyes
shine with icy water, cry
Bubbles char the cold
ย
Bubbles char the Coal Sack, dissolve her into salt
