THE CHRISTENING

STEP TO THE WINDOW. THE SCRIBE AWAITETH.

woodcut of a priest-scribe at an arched window, quill ready, a turnip on the sill as a paperweight

every villager must bear a name. the scribe hath dipped his quill. he does not ask permission. he asks only that thou standest still.

THE TAPESTRY

THE LORE, AS THE EMBROIDERERS RECORDED IT

woodcut: a many-towered castle rises on a hill above a small village, its windows lit
IIN THE YEAR 2026 THE LORDS BUILT A CHAIN AND NAMED IT FOR THE PRINCE OF THIEVES.
woodcut: a parade of animals drawn medieval-wrong, each with a little banner, marching proudly toward nothing
IITHE ROBBERS CAME FIRST. THEN CAME THE CATS, THE DOGS, THE RATS. ALL WERE TOKENIZED.
woodcut: a row of stern sheriffs; one sprints off the edge of the tapestry clutching a sack of coin
IIITHEN CAME THE SHERIFFS. VILLAINS BY THE DOZEN. SOME FLED WITH THE COIN THAT VERY DAY.
woodcut: the village raises its arms; one turnip is held aloft in golden light; the castle is ignored
IVAND YET NONE HAD ASKED: FOR WHOM WAS THE STEALING? — FOR US. THE PEASANTS. THE ENTIRE POINT.
woodcut: the peasant toils in the golden field between village and castle, grinning
VTHUS THE VILLAGE MINTED ITSELF. WE TOIL. THE HARVEST COMETH. FOR THE VILLAGE.
