Mordecai hated grass. She hated the way it tasted, the way it felt on her tongue, the way it stuck in her teeth and ... just everything about it. She wanted milk but every time she tried to get milk from her mother she was either nipped at, shoved away, or got nothing. Not even a little drop. The girl had also noticed that not having to feed her constantly had lead to her mother focusing on her tasks as Sultana for longer periods of time. Her father had always been busy and was no less so now that she had been weaned. 'Eat grass.' Her mother told her, but there wasn't much grass in the Throat and what grass there was was covered in gritty sand, which made it even more gross.

The girl snorted and pawed at the grass under her cloven hooves. It was an act of defiance against her mother that made her sneak out of the Throat again, and somehow she'd even managed to leave Gwaihir behind. She'd bypassed the heart (because she didn't want to get lost in the caves again) and finally stopped traveling when she made it to the meadow. It had taken her a little more than a day to make it that far because she had stopped for naps and to eat the nasty grass that her mom insisted that she start eating. Gross.

Her stomach rumbled and the girl reluctantly grabbed a mouthful of clover and began stomping her way toward the stream that she had found the night before, thinking that she could wash the grass down with water to hide the taste. She stopped at the edge of the stream, her ears flat against her head as she chewed and chewed and chewed the clover. When she finally swallowed the nasty green mess she nearly dunked her entire head into the stream, anxious to get as much water as she could and wash the taste of clover out of her mouth.

MORDECAI

when the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold
mountain cats will come along to drag away your bones

the emptiness that we confess in the dimmest hour of day
in Automatown they make a sound like the low sad moan of prey
