0 Guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) I passed that book over several times because I couldn't make it fit. I was looking at the wrong character! Especially disturbing since It was just discussed elsewhere on a book club thread. Well done! the blood brother to the narrator.

Question
Shakeepuddn
Rainbow riddles engraved on me,
With needle and thread I stitch the sea.
Riddles engraved upon my bed—
A cork of life, a boat for dead.
I serve within a house of doom
Some dozen others share my room.
My life taboo, a grimace fierce,
Pale the reaper’s flesh to pierce.
One brother in bed ere deep and cold—
This heir outcast my story told.
Name me.
