Abstract
The house stands finished when it’s laid with brick— brush huts receive no government wagon. Soldiers keep orders: settle the natives, no burning home to mark the newly passed. The body lies dressed in the man’s finest clothes, pastors demand Christian burial. Pima women sever their hair, singed in ritual mourning. When asked if the soul is any color, a child observes: it flies into the breast of an owl. This explains a boy climbing trees. One hand stretches up into the nest, collecting feathers, a gift to help the dying man cross over. Others claim the soul returns to the east, the house of evil, from where the soldiers come.
