Long and serpentine, this washed-out brown has been smoothly drawn from a hooked and beaky nose to an ink-tipped stylus of a tail. More inky-brown spots have stained his paws and talons, though the short strokes that outline each eyeridge and headknob seem more purposeful. The whole of his body has a sheen to it, a semblance of shiny mica and sandglass twinkling along his hollow flanks and long neck: a thin dusting of sand to blot up those last dark spills. At least the shadowy spars of his wings have been swept clear, though their generous sails have caught all the excess in their deep pockets; they sparkle in the light, each movement shifting grains until he seems surrounded in a hazy, eternal mirage.
