boulevard coyote

to long quiet

wakes up in a riot

boulevard coyote

yipping at the client

harmless and charmless

claw on the glass

“Mercury.” Xenon folded her hands over her eyes in despair. “You . . . you can’t throw pickles on the king’s table. Not the pickles from the turkey sandwich that the king’s servants also brought you. You just can’t. Not in front of the actual king.” Jonas”

“Time and wave, sun and wind, night and fire, moons and stone. We walk through the world only once. Only one life is given by the Nameless. It is a gift, a burden, a challenge, a duty to not waste it. To serve the Highest. To the end of our road, with our Honor intact.”

“Sing in me, O Muse the tale of two travelers, the ones who burned across ruddy hill and serpent trail – the last golden days of youth before the fall. Spell and sword, song and steel- the green hills roll on, and the dark forest waits but before the sun dies, let the thousand tales be told again, forgotten cradle-rhymes spun again, glory-gold and terror-black, the tale of two before the shadows fall.”
