What a Mother Says at Her Son's Funeral(For the fallen Hinam Warriors)

If I should start shedding tears I know it would come with black clouds and rain, pouring over the land, the fire, and your gun, and that no white handkerchief could ever dry it.

Let me instead cover my head in traditional warrior black shawl. Because I know, Aw Lalpa! I know, and it is enough, that whenever the names of these hills are called, your name too shall be called along now. Because your blood will continue to flow as long as the rivers of this land continue to flow. Because by making this land your eternal resting place, you have ensured a resting place for your people.
