Beskar Vader

What if Vader wore Beskar armor?  And, what if Vader wielded the Dark Saber and led the Mandalorians?  That, I believe, would be an interesting story.

One More Cast

By Kevin Wasden © 2020

I am addicted,

as any gambler

who petitions,

“Just one more hand.”

Beneath the river’s flow

glides my prize,

     silver and gold,

     spotted and scaled.

And even though

      I can scarcely see

      in the waning light,

and my line locks

     in the eyelet ice,

and my wife is home

     wondering where I am,

I lie to myself

     again and again,

      “Just one more cast.”
