Greetings.
Take a look at http://mason.gmu.edu/~jjenkins/uqbar.htm#Ariventa.
This is a rather good little story that tells of the demise of the thief in "The Dying Earth" story who loses his eyes ("Out with his eyes: Apologise!"), but written in the manner of JL Borges, who was fond of telling a pre-existing story from the viewpoint of a different player in the action.
Fans of Borges will want to check out some of the other poems. Oysters for the mind.
Regards, TomH
