Dirk Poor

What He Brought Back

The good stuff is for giving away.

Dirk Poor crouched in open country far past the falls, reaching for something on the ground — Out past the falls, a long way from anywhere, Dirk found something worth having.

Dirk Poor standing at golden hour, turning his find over in his hands — He turned it over a few times. It was good. It was properly good.

Dirk Poor riding the long cracked road back toward town in late afternoon light — He carried it the whole way home.

Dirk Poor arriving at the empty crossroads at dusk, streetlight lit, five empty seats around the spool — The crossroads was empty when he got there. It wouldn't be for long.

Dirk Poor placing his find carefully into the crate on the spool — He put it in the crate.

Dirk Poor at the crossroads at dusk with the spool and five empty seats — Then he left before anybody turned up. He didn't need to be there when they found it.

The good stuff is for giving away.

One more run.
