Chapter 37: “Mirach”

 

The King remembered
a solid gold triangle
from his treasury.

When Boötes ruled the land
it was traded for red wine.

The merchant was glad,
for he knew the gold came from
the centaur’s homeland.

The council moved to lock up
Andromeda with her mom.

“She has lost her mind,”

They claimed, “from her time at sea.”
“Oh please,” the king said,

“Do you say the same of me?
Let us find this triangle.”
