As I move this inkwell across the parched and barren
my pen comes to rest on a Gila monster
black and beady with a stinging tongue
we eat fur pie and roasted rope soup
at the mayor’s estate.
His wife offers me a panther’s claw
but I refuse, digging my eyes into scalloped moth balls
encrusting her lips
