TE15 Lithuanian Honey Cake

Sjón

THE MAN falls flat on his face and comes apart with a loud clanking noise. THE THREE WOMEN step out of their their pool of darkness.

NARRATOR

of his encounter with the three women the traveling salesman remembered nothing but their kimonos:

the first showed a goddess in the guise of a fox

the second showed a goddess in the guise of a sickle

the third showed a goddess in the guise of a cherry tree

THE THREE WOMEN crowd the body/heap of fur, wood and iron.
