Mystery solved
Dr. Watson dreams that he goes camping
with Holmes. Instead of sleeping bags, they bring
feather pillows and a large patchwork quilt.
They wake in the middle of the night to find
their tent gone, stolen, and the sky so full of stars
that they just lie there making up constellations
and legends. Come morning, Holmes announces
they needn’t search for clues because the heavens
revealed all they need to find that which
they truly seek. Dr. Watson nods, at last
understanding that what they’ve been after
all these years was meteorites and bears.
