THE WEAVE:
Persephone and Minthe,
sit straddling a barrel
in the hull of the ferry,
with a backgammon board
between them….
"I'm not fucking helping you this Time," Minthe says as they set up the board. "Why not?" Persephone pouts, and then smiles, glancing quickly at her. "Because you're too good," Minthe says, as she rolls a joint. "But it's only my 3rd Time!" Persephone whines, "And I alWays forget about the jump and flip thing." "Yeah, well, you also alWays roll doubles," Minthe says, passing the lit doobie, to Persephone. "That's just because I'm Lucky. I'm not a backgammon savant," Persephone says, plucking the joint from Minthe's fingertips, and taking a puff. "You're too good, Seph. You see the Way the Rivers flow, in and through eachOther. You're on your own. Be warned, I will be ruthless. See! You just rolled fucking doubles again." Persephone passes the joint back to Minthe, "It is a magnetic thing, Minthe. I am just Lucky, if you can call rolling snake-eyes, beneficial." ”Are you done yet?” asks Minthe. ”Yes?” Persephone questions. Minthe leans in, “Then pick up your fucking dice, Persephone.”
