      A Diviner’s Abecedarian

      Dec 2, 2019

      Before, salt was only for seasoning, so we didn’t think anything of it. It slept in porcelain shakers at our dinner tables, and we shook it over our plates without fear. We didn’t heed the superstitions of spilt salt, or salt tossed over a shoulder.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022
