PATRON
OF POOR MINSTRELS
Proud arm in the pantheon of misfit
gods.
Her cacophonous playing offended all but her
own misshapen taste. Mutilated, hanged twice,
and wrists nailed to tree trunk by the other
gods whose ears bled.
On she played.
And during that playing she gave life to a daughter
never meant to tread the earth, and slain before
birth.
