Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /.
I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make
linking easier.  I'm still thinking about whether I should
move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into
an 'assets' folder of some sort.  We'll see.

18I saw two Eskimo girls playing a game \
19blowing on each other's' vocal chords to make music \
20on the tundra. I thought about how \
21once we played the same game \
22and the sounds blowing over the chords of our throats \
23was the same as a wind over frozen prairie. \
24We are the Eskimo girls who played \
25the game that night to keep ourselves warm. \
26I run my hands over [my daughter][]'s \
27voicebox as she hums a song \
28about a seal and about killing the seal and about \
29skinning it and rendering the blubber \
30into clear oil to light lamps. \
31I remember you are my lamp. She remembers \
32you although you left before she arrived. \
33I can never tell her about you. \
34I will never be able to express that taste of your oil \
35as we [pushed our throats together][spittle]. \
36I will never be able to say how \
37we share this blemish like conjoined twins. \
38I will fail you always to remember you.
