Promised Land


Blindfolded and tied up,

Lean spent the ride,

As she was whisked

Crossed the countryside -

At gallop.


Eventually,

At an unknown destination,

She was freed

From rope and cloth.

" Who are you?!",

She spat at

The man

Who was holdin' up

His hands

In defense.


"Ruechari's brother."


"Sure."


"And I know,

What you're looking for."


"So?"


"Father's secret liquor

To cure your brother."


"How?!"


He blinked.

"Does it matter?

It's a fact,

That I'm the only one

Who can convince him

To hand the recipe over,

Copper Clover."


Lean looked around

at the desert bare

saying, 

"I don't dee nuthin',

Ain't nuthin, here."


He turned her around

to face a sandy mound,

and something more,

there was a door.

He smiled.

"Welcome to the promised land."
