Sleeping bags, cups, compasses, honesty.
The crest over the door is dressed for October. You can take what a month outdoors actually needs. Rare kit stays rare.
SUMMIT SUPPLY
0 Mountain Tokens. Starter kit is cheap. The words and the brass are why you save. Nothing here takes real money.
Enough for the practice slope behind the hotel.
The ridge, the shore, and the coach yard. Pencil-friendly.
Stays warm on a two-hour coach.
A number for the hotel slope, not the race.
Orange stitch. Stays on in wind, mostly.
For practice boards before the high snow is real.
The room gets colder than the lobby.
A small carved pumpkin that is yours, not the fest’s.
Hangs in the hotel room. The real ridge comes later.
A margin word. The canon does not move. Your October does.
The celebration, not the story. Thirty-one nights on one sheet.
A print. Not a sighting. The Bear is still outside.
For the wall, until one holds over the shore.
Write it beside a day that was too loud.
For a block of rooms, or for a sentence.
A word the month already knows. Now it is yours to keep.
Not true on the lower trails yet. True in your book when you say so.
The coach still leaves at 06:30. You do not have to narrate it that way.
A door word. Useful the night before, and on the 31st.
A claim on the coach glass. Not a ticket. A habit.
The small brass one the yard uses. Yours is a copy.
The name you travel under, on the hotel door.
Does not open every door. Feels like it might.
