Truthed Stretch
by Amber Thatcher
drawing by Lola Yang
You were
wanton witchcraft, you,
incongruous –
our lips never met,
what was that about?
You are
a pot-valor merchant
smiling with the obelus,
eyes on her
just like us then.
I am
Strider at the Prancing Pony,
ticking eyes nearby,
shrouded in wait as you
lay your fiction thick.
I’ll say it again.
Bravo.
