THE FIRST DREAM OF MARCO POLO
I am a knight.
I ride alongside Percival of the
Round Table, searching for
the Holy Grail.
But my horse is small, and
my companion’s is a beautiful,
monstrous stallion.
I don’t have a
shiny sword
either . . .
. . . but I have the
weapons of a
Mongol horseman.
We ride into the pines.
