The Swing swings.
Three diaphanous layers create a kaleidoscope of colourful veils to spin around your silhouette. The front two layers of the swing are short; the first providing a night sky into the second, a G̱uhlahl (jade) bubbled pool.
Áa uu G̱ántl íijang. Here is some water. The Ts’íng Beaver appears out from the depth of the water and into the night. The third layer, the back, is longer than the front and translucent, revealing the curve of your back in silhouette. You are in the middle, the center of the universe. Wash and wear and wear and wear.
