lyrics
[There were four singers.]
Three of the singers sat, and the first began at one end of the longhouse, singing softly, staring at the floor oblivious to the crowd, bouncing slightly with knees bent in the manner of a Giant Cuckoodove, accompanied by the monotonous and trance-inducing rattle of a string of mussel shells stretching from his hand to the floor. Moving slowly down the length of the longhouse, his song became louder and more intense as he sang of places familiar to his hosts and the sad events associated with those streams and trees and birds and fields. The hosts wept at the songs, and when their weeping became too unbearable, someone would grab a torch and shove it into the singer’s chest or shoulder. Deep in the isolation of his song, the singer continued, unresponsive as he was burned again and again, until his song ended and another singer began, building the crescendos that would lead to his own burning.
The songs lasted until dawn, and the success of the evening was remembered in its retellings by how much the hosts were made to weep and how much the singing guests were burned.
