New islands wait, close-gripped by fauna.
We, bronzed by the dream-sparking sky
trim ourselves rugged
sailing, for not some
bookstruck butterfly dream
flat as the ten pincakes of Pan
but for a scene,
sharp as a marble Tenet
tagging zig-zag zorro to meet all comers
in the place where we stand
and deliver.

Very nice Silas. It really captures it and I like the language, though I find "zig-zag zorro" a little odd, but hey nothing to get down on. I really loved the line "trim ourselves rugged;" that is a fine line. :)
