Holding On

Bounty
of landfall.
I am collecting your berries.

The castle
has connived with the moat
to end an era.

The first step
ends the journey.
An avatar has accepted the bribe.

Gather the tents 
and return the sky.
My morale is sinking very low.

The dream 
will wash the eyes
to read the book again.
