Book of Delaney VII

Yellow bricks gave way

to a green monastery.

Grover said to them,

"My brother and I built this

temple for Carolina."

Delaney knocked first—

the panther scratched at the door

when someone answered.

Their voice came from a steel box,

"Leave my panther there and go."

Will spoke through the box,

"I need to hear your story.

You own these lands, right?"

Delaney asked, "Do you know

how to repair vehicles?"

Then Carolina

let her panther in, tossing

keys at Delaney.

Carolina said to her,

"My DeLorean is yours."
