Hey! I was wondering if you could do a web weave for absolutely despising your sibling too? My brother is a monster and the world will be a better place once he's dead. Thank you!

Quote
The world has tired of tears. We weep owls now. They live longer. They know their way in the dark. Unfasten your cage of teeth and tongue. The taste of a thousand moths is chalk. The mottled wings are the words to pain. We have no mazel tov. We call out for our mothers with empty wine jugs at our heels.
Natalie Diaz, “Prayers or Oubliettes” in When My Brother Was an Aztec
