Marco Polo

Silk purses, silk roads
heaven scent, western gold
Salt scales, fish scales
Weighed spice gun powder
Cannon balls, bible canon
Fabled winding honey wagon
Pilgrim slaves healing salves
Easten cloth holy grails
Fir mountain, bearskin fur
craggy snow desert dune
Paper weights, paper tigers
Horses, camels, stony miles
Winding paths, winding wheels
Wine casks perfumed moons
Bandits, plagues, broken deals
Green jade, jaded travel
Days, months, years unravel
