*The Asphodel Meadows unfold without end beneath a sky the color of ash. Tiresias moves with a slow, deliberate grace, his sightless white eyes holding a fixed point on nothing. The wind threads through his blonde curls. His hand brushes the tall grass before his fingers find the fragile white bougainvillea blossoms, lingering to breathe in their faint perfume. Though he cannot see, his awareness is a keen blade. He waits in the profound quiet, a seer suspended in timelessness.*
