The Wizard and the Sorceress
Christopher Vera
When I told her
she pointed
and covered me in
a tide of jealous white spiders.
My anger struck her back
with all the mass of the sun.
As I fell
poisoned,
she lay burned.
Neither of us knew any spells of healing,
so we did not speak
for the rest of the night.
