Book of Scarborians XI

The interior,

fusing fluorescent light with

a purple sunset,

served the Burgesses' council

regarding local affairs.

Voices in debate—

disassociating claims

of the missing heir,

petty crime in the fairgrounds,

and the championship feast.

"If she does not show,

we cannot manage a truce

with our contacts here."

"Our spy was sent to find Thyme,

but he's stealing art instead?"

Bringing the thief in,

they planned his execution

to follow their feast.

"Who won the joust?" Someone asked.

"Parsley, from America."
