Power passes.
The earth remembers.
A throne lies beneath an ordinary patch of earth. Above it, cattle graze, children gather, and life goes on.
Across sixty-eight poems, myth and history meet the ceremonies of power and the lives of ordinary people. The journey returns to the earth, where an old story may begin again.
