Song
You announce in a ringing voice, "I will now sing the song 'In Muspar'i, a tale of the desert city by Gulliver VonDeverone."
- "I heard the yeehars groaning
- In the desert, in Muspar'i.
- I clung to the barge's cargo deck
- As Sand Elves steered the bawling beasts
- Toward an ever-growing golden speck:
- The sun egg, shimmering in the heat."
- "I sat beside the hhr'pao tiles
- In the morning, in Muspar'i.
- I watched the kneaders shape the dough
- And saw the hot sun brown the crust
- As it baked outside. I let the sere winds blow
- And ate the bread, still warm, amid swirling dust."
- "I haggled for the hhyssk'et
- In the market, in Muspar'i.
- I peeled the bitter fire fruit
- And burned my tongue on its scarlet skin,
- Then gulped and gulped down cold lime juice
- And craved the fire yet again."
- "I knelt and honored the cobra
- In the temple, in Muspar'i.
- I learned to pray in jet and jasper,
- Opals and rubies, Hav'roth's demands.
- And when I hadn't a pebble to offer,
- The stone-god heard my prayers in sand."
- "I snapped my heart on the sitar strings
- In the theater, in Muspar'i.
- I fumbled awkwardly through the notes
- And, convinced of my skill, made a braggart's claim,
- But as Dhralduum strummed, I dropped my boast,
- And gasped and bowed my head in shame."
- "I read parody and poetry
- In the plaza, in Muspar'i.
- I stood at S'zella's statue's feet,
- Awed by his wisdom and his wit,
- Grieving his death. I cursed Dzree
- And shed dry tears of grit."
- "I whispered my dreams to wish eggs
- In the sun city, in Muspar'i.
- I wished for a life that's fierce and free,
- For good food, faith, and rhapsody
- And I found it all awaiting me
- In my memory, in Muspar'i."
You let the song fall into silence.
