A/N: Written for the Prompts in Steps Challenge, step 1 prompt 7 – fruit.
Scraps and Treasures
Everything they always got was dry
and all scrunched up inside,
But that was the sort of world they lived in,
a world build with scraps
where fresh food and new goods
were only for the kings
But they had their dreams, and their ways:
all those little things they could collect
and trade, and get just a little more
And until they could build a bridge
to heaven, little shining screws
and scraps of fruit
was the only luxury they'd have
amidst their scraps.
