Arthur's Wain
by Scott E. Green
Arthur's wain carries
Britain's sovereignty across
the skies of the sceptered isle.
Burden lies among those
who call for an Ard Ri of
Britannia's Celtic tribes
and those who want the purple
of Imperator.
The stars are his only true
companions that he can trust.
Pride corrupts his knights.
Even faith leads his soldiers
from their oath to him
to the land of white apples.
His wain moves across the skies.
