Who made this
Saezal composed this in Pittsburgh, the day before Nukon died. Her daughter, Nadia, the younger, is from her years with Trukor. Her daughter, Wren, is from her years with Deivaes. Her son, Nadia, the elder, is from her years with Deivaes. She has also lost Treil. At Nukon's funeral she said: "Wish you were here to argue about it with me." She keeps a parrot, Juniper. This is one of sixteen pieces she has made, beside four pictures and five writings.
