up, she threw it ... tossed my heart like a coin, she did offered it up to the great expanse and the choking veil to roil and spin like some bastardly bribe to the gods and return to earth with a sickening, sodden thud seeping, slow-thrumming, desiccated ... but she forgot to bless it, you see ... so the damned thing passed through the ground like ether bound straight for the fiery furnace itself one end yet wrapped about her perfectly perfect ankle ... (the weight of her lies like a burning angel) and in she went ... lover and all.
