Dead Mans Gold by Paul Yee
  • Gold attracts men like a magnet awakening
    metal pins, like honey humming to bees. It
    shines and never rusts, flattens thin as tissue
    and reels into feathery threads. It crowns the
    kings of mighty empires and dazzles the eye when
    spun as filigree jewelry. I has caused nations
    to go to war, men to commit murder, and innocent
    people to be enslaved.
